A cat behind a fence.

I met a cat today. He was in the construction yard. A fence separated us.

Enough about cats.

The other day I was walking with a friend. We had a nice view of a sunset:

friend: "Man, don't you wish you had your camera?"
me: "No."
friend: "What? Why?"
me: "Because some things are just meant to be looked at."
Photographers can sometimes get caught up in just taking pictures and creating images all the time.

They never take time to cherish.

If my only goal is to capture beauty rather than admire it, then I will become an emotionless machine whose only goal is visual kleptomania.

A sunset. A beautiful woman's face. A cat behind a fence.
See for yourself.

  1. I loved this, Joey Ferg! I'm glad you're back to updating.

    I agree. Sometimes the process of creating can help us enjoy beauty more, but other times it just becomes more about the product.

    Well said.
