Browsing through my files……
After several straight days of gear entries, I was starting to feel guilty and thought I might share some of my personal favorite images. Because it’s all about the image, we don’t own cameras, and tripods, and bags, except to take them out there and make photographs!!! After you take a peek at these images I will offer some insights that came to me as I looked at some of my personal favorite images…….
After looking through the images I pulled from my files at random, I discovered some interesting things;
1. Gear didn’t seem to matter that much, the images were made with everything from an iPhone to a D800, and everything in between!!
2. With the exception of one action football shot, made a long time ago, almost everything I photograph is not moving!!!
3. My favorite images are all about color, light, shape, and texture…..
4. I can remember what it was like, who I was with, and the joy of making everyone of these images!!!
5. The last image says it all, the peoiple I’ve been honored to get to know, become friends, and have fun with, are the greatest joy of all!
Blessings,
the pilgrim

Thank you for sharing. I love the fall forest picture.
Thanks, it’s one of my favorite aerials.
Bill-
Your pictures are beautiful and inspiring. I look at your website daily!!
Thanks Pat!
Absolutely inspiring post. I saw you speak years ago at an NECCC and always come back to your site for inspiration. You are truly a gifted artist and man. Interesting to see your choices (I always have a tough time figuring out “what is REALLY good and what isn’t” and your written perspective. I especially adore Nature’s Crown Jewels, Hanna Highway, Stream in Great Smokies and Forest in Fall. Oh heck, I love all of them – even you and Scott Kelby because you have both influenced my life and my art greatly. And I especially like thought #4 “I can remember what it was like, who I was with, and the joy of making everyone of these images!!!” because, even if I never move another person with my photography, that joy of where I was and who I was with and how I felt at that moment is always revived when I wander through the billions of images I have captured. Thank you for your inspired insight.
Chris thank you for your kind words! Please come back often!
