The Way Out

“The best way out is always through.”
–Robert Frost

An important lesson I’ve learned through this photo a day project is when you are struggling to create and your muse has taken the day (or week) off, the best way to get past that block is to just keep going.  You may not produce your best work.  In fact, it may be awful.  But every time you stop, look, compose, and click the shutter, you are practicing.  And practice and perseverance is what will make you better.

Day 255 of my 365 photo a day project.

If you are looking for art for your home or office or something to spice up your digital desktop, this image and most of the others from this project are available as prints and digital downloads.  You can also check out the rest of my portfolio here.

Emotion. Mood. Feelings. This is what I capture through my photographs. Whether it is landscapes, architectural elements, still life, or macros - it is a very personal journey as my own fears, triumphs, beliefs, and shortcomings are exposed with each photo. In the end, it is all about telling compelling stories.
