I’m putting this out there….my dream.  World Wide Internet you should know my dream.  Here it goes –

I want to lead photography tours in Ireland.

There it is.  Out there.

I’ve actually been working on this for a while now.  But I’ve never posted anything about it so I’m hoping that by posting I’ll keep my motivation up, let people know and eventually give my dream life.  I’m going to add a category that is solely dedicated to Ireland and our time spent there as part of this process in getting this tour going.

I have always loved photography.  In my past life as an architect, I dreamed about changing careers to photography and admired those who had made it happen.  I tried to soak up photography knowledge from anywhere I could but it wasn’t until we moved to Ireland that photography changed from a hobby to something totally new.  It was a way to record, process and savor my life there.  It was a way to tell a story.

Now, I take what I learned about myself, about my camera into my new career as a photographer.  I think my shots aren’t just interesting photos but actually feel a little like you’re there.  A time capsule to be relived again and again.  That skill all came from my time with my camera in Ireland.

I want to take people to Ireland and not only show them my favorite spots and some good craic (Irish word for fun – sounds like crack) but also teach them to use their camera to tell a story.  Something that they can take with them that is more powerful than learning just how to take properly exposed shots.

That is my dream.
