JACK LARSON PHOTOGRAPHY
Couldn't resist putting up a few more train shots. Fiona loves the steam.

Today I give gratitude for being 74 years on the incredible Planet Earth. My life has been a phenomenal blessing. Thank you for sharing the journey.

The following is a quote from David duChemin's ebook, "Ten More." It's from the section "See with eyes; Shoot with the heart." It is my birthday gift to each of you. "The world in no way needs more mediocre photographs. What the world does need is more passionate photographs, images that begin life perceived by the eyes but expressed, through the camera, with the heart. If you’re going to create better photographs, begin with things about which you care deeply. If that’s the natural world and issues of conservation, show me. If it’s your children, then show me them. Photographing those things about which you are passionate does a couple of things. It shows me more of you. It shows me more of that thing you love. And it makes better photographs."
