There are times in our lives that are simply perfect, moments where we hold our breath for fear of disturbing what is happening around us.  These times are rare, fleeting, but they nourish us and make us stronger.

Such was the case a few nights ago, when I was standing on a beach in Hawaii photographing the most beautiful sunset that I have ever seen.  A gentle breeze drove away the heat, music played in the background, my daughter swam in the ocean and I was doing what I love…. making photographs.

When the light was gone my daughter and I stayed a little bit longer, looking out onto the dark ocean and listening to the waves.  

It was perfect.

I am back from this trip now, back to the world of photo editing, writing, podcasts and workshops.  I look forward to sharing much more with all of you very soon.
