Last night my partner Jennifer and I had the idea to head out to photograph some fireflies. We have a great natural location close to home, where we know you can see a great display of these beauties. We set out just before dusk with camera, tripod, creative intention and an open mind. All this said, we saw so many fireflies and they were magically beautiful, but they were way more illusive to capture that I thought. The cool thing is, because of an open mind, we still came home with some pretty interesting photographs.
Perhaps more importantly than the resulting imagery, was a reminder of why I love being a photographer. I love curiosity, I love discovery and I love that we can venture our with a couple cameras and have the coolest of experiences!
