“I am always mentally photographing everything as practice.” – Minor White

This image was taken at one of my favorite coffee hangouts. The young mans name is Dillon and works at the coffee shop as a barista. He is taking a break from steaming milk and pouring shots to practice for a few minutes. Now that is what we call dedication to his craft.

And, sitting across from me is a young photographer named is Gayle who is working through the images from a photo shoot. She is a wife, a mother and a professional wedding, newborn, and children’s photographer. If we look around us we will see those who put in the time to hone their skills through dedication and practice. They’re everywhere.

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku. Have a love for fountain pens.

    Yep. At one of the places that I hang out, if you pay attention, you’ll see a few people who come there most every day to practice their craft. There are a couple of writers, one who does comic books, as well as some other regulars. It’s pretty cool.
