what if this is it right here right now your defining moment what if every event, heartache, and mistake was perfectly planned to lead you into the situation you presently find yourself in what if mystic voices whispered answers to you while you sleep and people are carefully thrown in your path all for the evolution of your greatest good whether you like them or not what if it did not matter what you did or said or felt in the past what if it was not an accurate prediction of what your future will look like what if you were not the only one feeling this way tired and lost joyful and free all at the same time what if others were also thirsty for the same soul balm you were craving what if you could meet them simply by following your own truth what if the reason you don’t fit in feel outside the box outside the norm is because you were not built to fit but to create your own molds and make your own set of rules what if they were wrong the mean voices that live in your head that say things like “no you can’t” and “that is not possible” and “what a stupid idea” what if those voices do not belong to you but some hurt angry child you never met that needs love and care what if your faults were also your assets disguised as flaws what if nothing was random not even a spilled cup of coffee or a broken heel on the way to work what if there is no one left to impress what if there is nothing wrong with you and nothing wrong with them what if it was all stripped away your comforts distractions addictions and praise so you could finally meet the raw, naked version of yourself who is much stronger and bad ass than you expected what if this helps you see what you are really made of and you realize that is it not only more than enough but that you yes you dear soul are nothing short of extraordinary! - the words of the gifted, magical soul, mccabe russell

I want to change how things are done. Yes, its been said a million times. Its been attempted a million times. It has failed a million times. But yet, for some reason – people keep trying. Driven by change, adversity and the prospect of something greater. Something that has never been done. Prestige perhaps. Popularity even. Or maybe just self satisfaction. I have a vision. An approach to what i do. I’m sure some of you reading this feel the same way. You have this idea in your mind of what you you want your images to look like. The end result you picture is so powerful and dynamic. You know what you want but you JUST can’t reach it. It always seems to be within arms length but when you actually stretch for it, its just beyond your fingertips. So close. Each picture you take could be “the one.” Every single time you hit the shutter you think, this image is “it.” This will make someone happy – or cry. This image will speak for a generation. Or change the world. Every time that shutter opens and closes light is let in to your camera and it is recorded .. either by a memory card or by film. Either way, that record of light has so much power and meaning. Could this be the “shot?” Will this image change my life? This is fuel for a photographer. The power of the unknown. This thought of evolving, of reshaping, the industry pushes me further as an artist. I want to do something that hasn’t been done. Its out there. It happens all the time. I always hear, every shot has been taken – or every musical line has been played. Yet somehow, something new always develops. It IS out there. You just have to have the heart and determination to find it. This is why with each new wedding season I tell myself I’m going to evolve. I’m going to reach that image i have in my head. I’m going to nail that elusive amazing image that no one else has. The one no one else can even imagine. I’m going to photograph that session like never before. I’m going to document that wedding in a way never seen. I’m going to change how things are done. -Ash Imagery
what makes a great portrait? is it.... an intangible element luck and patience the graphic elements, framing, lines and light what is said about the image maker what is said about the subject images that make a statement vulnerability and awkwardness a feeling and reaction an insight into an inner universe an element of surprise insightful and engaging a meaningful connection an emotional exchange tension in the moment infused with believability mutual trust a raw and honest exchange the capturing of a state of grace something that rarely happens an unanswerable question
a photographer went to a socialite party in new york. as he entered the front door, the hostest said ‘i love your pictures. they’re wonderful. you must have a fantastic camera’. he said nothing until dinner was finished. and then said, ‘that was a wonderful dinner, you must have a terrific stove’. - sam haskins (photo cred: deb schwedhelm)
