FISHING = The Peaceful Way to Relax and Think




I shot a series of photos of a fishing trip I took with a friend.  This is an edited panoramic photo I took that I thought would work great for a fishing advertisement even.  "When life gets confusing go fishing and figure it out. " It's the best way to quietly think and peacefully figure things out.

The smooth water and waves behind my boat, give off the feeling of peacefully leaving something behind and moving on to something new.  Changes happen in everyones life, sometimes change is peaceful and good, and feels right; other times change can be hard and decisions can be extremely difficult, discouraging or hard.  When I am peaceful and calm with a decision, I get the feeling I experience when I look at this photo, in that type of moment, everything can feel right.

I love this photo because it reminds me of the calm, peaceful feeling when I am right with a choice I have made.  Even though sometimes we look back and wonder about a choice we have made in the past, or wonder about a future choice, I know if I can find that peace that I see in this photo, I won't look back but instead create peaceful waves as I transition forward into my future.

Shooting to Illustrate


This photo would be used to illustrate when the weather warms up too fast and the trees begin to flower too soon. Tree farmers, home owners and this little girl (my oldest niece Taylee) are concerned about being able to grow and to eat apples from their trees if they bud too quickly and then freeze when the temperatures drop.

Because the young buds that are blooming on fruit trees right now can freeze and die when they come into bloom too early, creating a loss of fruit crop for the year; this article would then include simple, child-like instructions of how to learn how to protect fruit trees from frost.
