From the shadow

When does photography evolve from a hobby to a quest? When you get up well before sunrise to travel 300 miles to try to learn something. Hopefully, someday a photographer will appear out of the shadows of this self--portrait. As I kiss the kids goodbye in their groggy sleep, I hope today's journey is worth the day away from them. I am pretty sure this odyssey will be well worth it and if not anything else, a good adventure.
