Preparing for take off………..

Saturday I’m off for a week in rural Missouri. I will be attending the Missouri Photojournalism Workshop. It starts a period of the fall where I will only be home a dozen days until the week before Thanksgiving. This coming week I want to concentrate on light. I will be hunting for light as the subject to feature all next week in the blog. I’m taking a big step, I will travel with only the little
P7000 and a pocket tripod. With the big Moab workshop coming up in a couple of weeks I want to get ready to search for light, so this week will be a warm up for that.

If you want to be the best photographer you can be, you need to practice and stay sharp, by working on the basics. After 40 years as a working pro photographer, practice is more important than ever.

Every day is a practice day in my walk with the Lord. As the late John Denver said in the studio while doing an album cut with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, when asked if this was practice, he said, “it’s all practice…..” Yes life is all practice. To walk with Him and glorify Him in all you do takes practice. We won’t always do it right, but we can get better with practice.

God does not expect us to be perfect, He does want us to always try to be getting better at the craft of living for Him.
