Well, originally I was going to talk about storage solutions for your photos…I know, an exciting topic. But then I got sidetracked, had a couple of appointments, and the next thing I know it’s 4:30pm. So I thought I’d save that intriguing topic for another day and instead share a life goal of mine.
I’m never where I want to be.
Not that I’m not content with what I have been given…just that I’m never at a point where I feel “I’ve arrived” and that I’m the best I’ll ever be. For me, that’s a good thing. It keeps me motivated to strive for excellence…and to improve and grow as a person and a photographer. I hope I never get so prideful to think I can’t do better. Then I’m no longer teachable…and I’ve lost my sense of curiosity and creativity.
Fortunately, I see plenty of amazing talent out there that keeps me in check.
And so I dream of what I’d like to do one day. One of those dreams is to photograph a wedding in Iceland. Don’t laugh! It’s true…there’s something so mysterious, wild, and untamed about the land that I can’t help but picture incredible images I’d love to create in it. After honeymooning there five years ago, I’ve really fallen in love with the country. It’s different. It’s not your typical tropical wedding-on-the-beach kind of pretty…it’s more vibrant than that. It’s the land of fire and ice. Fire + ice + a wedding= AMAZING PHOTOS!
My only problem? Well, besides the fact that I live in Pittsburgh (I love Pittsburgh! Don’t get me wrong!), there’s not a whole lot of people living in Iceland. Which means there’s not a whole lot folks getting married.
So, I figured I would need to make “shooting a wedding in Iceland” a life goal, as it’s probably going to take a long time to find a couple getting married in Iceland who want me to photograph their wedding. But a person can dream, right? Right??
I know this post is pretty random, so thanks to those who bothered to read the whole thing. And if anyone is planning on getting married in Iceland, definitely let me know!
