This image was captured just outside of Denver, Colorado.
Man, I loved Colorado and would give anything to move to that amazing state.

Late sleepless nights lead to great ideas for conceptual photographs...
Then daybreak hits and 1 of 3 things happen; either I lose my nerve, forget that I've written down this "great idea", or can't find a willing participant.
Self censorship is hard to overcome.

The camera affords me the opportunity to learn stranger's stories, hear their inner most thoughts, see their joys and triumphs and to share important moments.
For that I feel honored.

This beautiful woman is Jan

#Thoughtsofaphotographer :
I'm an introvert who craves social contact. My camera gives me that opportunity to be out in public, meet new people, and (although it exhausts me) fill my much needed depleted "socialization tank." It helps me break free from isolation.

I like to find the beauty in the ordinary, but I can't decide which edit I like best... simple high contrast b/w or muted and moody?
Which do you prefer?

Living in a rural area has its disadvantages, such as having to travel 30 mi or more for health care or less expensive groceries... I also don't get the opportunity to shoot the subjects that I'd love, but I do get to explore the countryside whenever I'd like.
