Light

this morning i discovered the following quote on the facebook page of my new friend, British photographer Gary Ligget ~

"Amateurs worry about equipment, 

professionals worry about money, 

masters worry about light..."

sorry, no attribution was given, but i'll see if i can track down who wrote, or said these wise words.

the quote is a little snooty, i'll admit, but i still love it because photography really is all about the light.  for me, it is not so much a "worry" about the light as it is a deep and abiding fascination with the play and power of light.   i am drawn to the movement of light across surfaces, how it peeks from behind leaves, how it caresses a loved one's face, how it streams through the clouds and touches the distant mountains.  it is pure magic.  one of the greatest gifts we are given.

i am a slave to the light.
