Everyone needs a centering function, something that helps bring chaos into a more focused serenity. Something to remove imbalance in life and place you on sound footing. Photography is that centering tool for me. Sitting at lake side, camera set up and dialed in, just waiting for the right light to appear, listening to the waves lapping on the rocks, the birds, the laughter in the distance. That never fails to bring me back home.
