I was sitting under the blankets listening to the rain fall outside our bedroom window. My mind was wondering and scanning over all sorts of thoughts, but one thing kept sticking in my mind. Where would I be right now if I was not a photographer. What if I was doing marketing again and Eddie was back at his wide assortment of heinous jobs? One, we wouldn't know each other quite the way we do now. Two, I wouldn't be NEARLY as happy as I am now. Three, I wouldn't be as alive as I am now. It got me thinking about how long I have searched for that one perfect job. How long I have fought through hard jobs thinking that it would get me to a goal that was far beyond my reach. I realize that when you find the right thing in your life it becomes all about the journey. We have major dreams for our careers, but I realize that I am most happy with the day to day stuff. The time spent behind a camera, in front of a computer or out with the amazing people that make up our work.
So, I guess this is a shout out to everyone who is stuck doing something they don't want to do. Sometimes it's not about the end result and more about being happy while on the journey to that end result. Search for what makes you happy, surround yourself with people who believe in your dream and then just dive in.

By the way....We LOVE Love LOVE to help people who are passionate about photography. If you are trying to get started or just a hobbyist and got a question don't even hesitate for a second to ask us. For some reason we just love to help people who are chasing dreams. We were there once and we were blessed with some fine people who had some pretty fine advice.
