The picture of you and Chenin made me smile. Two kids in love. A knit sweater. And beer. True love in its finest form.

you know, I STILL have crappy photos from college that i look at and think, “…ya know, thats still pretty damn good for something taken with with a bare light bulb in a $10.00 reflector.” Hard sometimes to stay passionate and enthralled with what you end up doing for a living..when your passion becomes your ‘job’.

.Still – i’m not sure there’s anything else i’d rather be doing!

I’m right there with you about having trouble picking up a camera unless the results are going to be amazing. I think the only way to keep that sense of wonder is to continue to learn and try new things. With photography I think we reach plateaus where we feel like we have reached our full potential and then we learn something new (usually by accident) that just elevates us to that next level.

That is a mighty sweater. Also, your blog makes me want to see the Salton Sea. Someday, someday…

Doug…awesome post. I was just talking with my wife the other day basically about the same thing. How I used to carry a camera with me where ever I went and I would take images of what ever..door knobs, concrete..what ever. But man did I get excited…and I think we all need to go back to that excitement and remember why we feel in love with this art.

Anyway great images Doug, I hope the new family is well and keep rocking it!!
