The Best of 2013

I’ve wanted to do this post for a very long time. Fear drove my complacency; as it does in many of our lives when we are standing in front of a huge project. 2013 was a year of awakening for me. My life changed with too many moments to count. I visited the shores of Normandy which gave me an undying perspective of just how thankful I should be; it also gave me a real life vision of history. Those beaches I’d read about in pages of books came to life. The art of my work also took a change at the beginning of the year and on. 2012 was the year of finding my place among this amazing community. Wedding after wedding, late nights, a lost relationship, and long flights home. 2013 was different. I was focused. Every 3 months I set a new goal. From finding my own way to tell the story of a beautiful bride, making a groom stoic, focusing on the details details details; I slowly started began to feel comfortable in my own skin. I stopped looking at other peoples work. If I did, it was the likes of Avedon or Winters. I focused on my work; I also had an amazing woman supporting me who also happens to be a photographer.
