Hope your weekend has been great! On tonight’s episode I’ll talk a little bit more about the differences I see between using a 50 or 35mm prime lens.

Passion… Passion and creativity are the most driving forces of my life. It’s been that way since I was a kid.

I’ll talk abou that. … The post Episode 126 – Passion & Creativity appeared first on Photography Matters.

Mindful Photography – it’s a term you hear frequently here on the podcast. For me, being a mindful photographer brings the strongest images… stories.
