Go for a Drive

One of the best things about photography is that in order ot take photos you have to get up and move around or sometimes, go somewhere and get down in the dirt. Either way it is a great way to make sure that you don't become a couch potato watching things on TV that don't matter.

I would like to encourage you to grab your camera and set off on an outing. Get out and start looking at details about where you are going. There is still alot of snow on the ground and not much is growing, or out moving where I live. However, I started the car this morning with grey skies above and snow flurries coming and going. I was determined to take a photo of something though. I had no idea what it would be but I got out into the countryside and stopped the car, got out and just started taking photos. Here is one of those photos.
The snow that had been coming down early in the morning while the skies were still greay was now melting and evaporating. It was great to be out when the sun decided it was going to grace the skies and make them blue. The water evaporating gave me the inspirationg to kneel down and get a shot of the cars driving through the mist.

So, just get out there you never know what you will find!
There is a scripture in the Doctrine and Covenants section 130 verses 18 -19 that reads: "18-Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection. 19-And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come." That is the reason I am living in England and attending the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham. I am working on a MFA in Photography in order to further my secular intelligence. Additionally I am learning more than I ever thought I would about having faith in God and where he leads us in life. I graduated from Brigham Young University Idaho with a degree in Recreation Management and a minor in Photography. If I am not photographing, then you can find me running, mountain biking, or spending time with my family.
