I am not a professional photographer. I cannot devote my life and my money to travel. I’ve never taken a class, and that’s not a good thing. I use Lightroom, not Photoshop. I can’t add in a better sky. I can’t make composites. I hate gearheads, and people who go to Iceland. I suck at landscapes. I prefer bright colors. I chose Squarespace over 500px. I will get up before dawn for one shot. I will drive five hours one way for one waterfall. I will hike alone with no fear, and bear spray. I will slap a matte preset on it in a heartbeat. I might go to your meetup. I will capture.
