Start - May

It's 2010. A new year brings a fresh start, at least that's what we hear. And as it is a new year, so many make resolutions on how to better their lives. Lucky for me, I have to great friends who are embarking on this photographic endeavor alongside me.

Libby's raw talent and natural ability to make storytelling images makes her so valuable to this journey. I see her work grow with every image she makes, every story she tells. She has an amazing ability, and I hope just sparks from her fiery inferno behind the lens hits me and also ignites some sort of genius in me.

Neil has an amazing ability to bring home a portfolio image through nearly every daily assignment he shoots. He's got respect amongst his peers, especially me, and his professionalism and kind heart are what make him and his images so easily recognizable and true storytelling photos. His eye for composition and handle on light make him an essential piece to this puzzle. I want to learn from him, his techniques and this journey of which we have just begun.

My personal goal is to understand my photography and what images I want to make. I want to really understand those who I shoot. I want to make images that matter, that truly delve into the lives of my subjects. Storytelling is key, and that is my main goal in development. Who knows where this year-long photo walk will take any of us? I know it will bring us closer together, and we will discover much about ourselves through the images we make. That is all I can ask for is friendship and maybe a bit of education on my technical skills. :) I love you both dearly. Let's make 2010 a year to remember.
