    Spent a night camping with my Uncle over the summer. We share two passions, camping and photography! I asked him to share his creative process when he goes on a photo outing and how his physical disability has changed how he makes pictures. He had some inspiring wisdom to share!

    Another wise Paul....lol. So great to see his motivation, inspiration, and a general "I don't care what other people think" attitude. His reasons are why I like photography as well. One to just get out in nature; and two to slow down. Thanks for sharing!

    Gems like, " I shoot things that I like, the way I like. That's it." and "Does anyone else like it? Meh, probably not. I don't care....." Uncle Paul is my hero today. I can only hope I am as cool as he is when I have been slinging a camera as long as he has. :)

  • @glowingeye
    @glowingeye Před 3 měsíci

    The way he praises thoughtfulness and embraces being slower than others really resonates with me. I'm not slow by any means in most aspects of my life (and too young to be slow), but photography is where I'm slow and sometimes annoy other people on walks. If I see something and discover a scene, I could use and live in this scene for hours. Time just flies by and it's one of the greatest feelings in life. He's got a good view on life and fantastic advice on it, what a great guy! Also, the landscape where you guys were is beautiful and the weather makes it even better. Sometimes I love gray skies.

    There is so much deep, beautiful knowledge that can be learned this video. There are many days where I get so exhausted and frustrated on trying to make the best shot I can and getting upset when it doesn’t happen. This is a good kick in the rear to show that you need to look back and go back to what made you want to do your craft. When you started it was fun and you never cared about opinions you just did it to make you happy. Shout out to beck and her uncle for going back to their roots and doing what makes them happy! It was a much needed refresher!
