a time to keep silence

A time to keep silence.... this is pretty much the perfect way to describe how I like to be when I'm taking photos. It is a time for just me, to escape the hustle and bustle, the sometimes relentless expectations, my workload, unfortunately my home stress due to having a child with ASD, and just life distractions in general.

I love to stand, almost like a flamingo ;-) and just watch the world go by. When I am shooting landscapes, I look for clouds - I just adore looking at them and hearing their names. I can almost tell by looking at them what type of sunset will ensue. And lately, I am looking for tiny humans. I call them tiny humans because I like to incorporate as much sky as I can into the shot, so in essence they become tiny but to me they are the soul of the photo because they portray something I am feeling at the time.
