I still photograph people today but on my spare time I capture landscapes and wild animals. This is what I do now when I\u2019m not capturing people. I love to go to a place I\u2019ve never been to before and get lost for hours. I photograph everything I see it seems, and never get bored. It\u2019s like the forest offers endless photographic opportunities for me. I\u2019ve never felt this way in my life and to be honest I used to laugh at landscape photographers when I was in Hollywood. We had a saying about those types of photographers, that\u2019s what they do when they can\u2019t work in the real world anymore. I was wrong! That\u2019s what they do when they don\u2019t have to work in the real world and there is a huge difference. <\/p>

<\/figure>Photographing animals is almost as difficult as photographing people. They move just as much and they all have their own personality which sometimes is a gift and other times becomes difficult. Some animals are so vein they seem to be posing for me but I know that can’t be true right? <\/p>
Landscapes on the other hand are much easier to capture but still offers great complexity. There are times when I see a scene and think that’s great! Two minutes later it’s gone! Sometimes it gets worse. There are times when I set out to shoot an area I’ve been to before and have an idea of what I want to create but either the weather or something else gets in the way and I get nothing or at least not what I thought in my mind. Pictures are one thing and images are totally different in my humble opinion. A picture is quick and ready before you even bring the camera to your eye. An image is something you first create in your head and then go out and try to recreate it with your camera. Sometimes everything just clicks and you are presented with a gift from nature. I can;t tell you how many times I’ve tried to create something that’s in my head and end up frustrated and walking away, and other times when I get what I was thinking or better. <\/p> I spend a lot of time just sitting and thinking about the shot. It’s not always easy but is always very rewarding. I guess this is better than spending time with a stranger that charges $100 bucks an hour! I’m referring to a therapist and not one of those from the “oldest profession” folks, get your head out of the gutter. <\/p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I can\u2019t really start at the end because that would mean I\u2019m done with life so I\u2019ll start where I am today and hope this works out.
