Hey everyone! Here's another image by my dad.
I'm not sure what the name of it is, but the file said HB Chapel.. So I assume that it's called Hale Bopp Chapel.
This was one of the shots that got my father into photography...
He used to be the most like well known and respected carpenter in Sedona until the job was just becoming too difficult for his muscular dystrophy.. SO he took a chance, bought a camera and got a whole collection of amazing Hale Bopp shots and.. It just spiraled exponentially from there!
He ended up being able to quite carpentry and do photography full time, even though he doesn't get out to film much anymore cause of his condition, he still makes a living selling his art work and some day I hope to also be able to do that with my own photography... :)
It really is an inspiring story, cause.. My father didn't know what he was going to do when carpentry was becoming too much for him.. And he needed to find something, and he went back to a childhood hobby of his.. And gave it a gamble and a try and.. He put his spirit into it.. And it worked.. Even though we're not rich, and we're kinda poor.. My father is a success story in my opinion.. He's someone that quit working for others and created his own business that ended up providing for him.
So.. If you've got a dream, something you'd like to do, if you wanna escape working for others.. I'd say.. Give it a try.. See if it works.. And if it doesn't.. Then at least you can say you tried! And there's a beautiful peace that comes with trying.. Even if you don't succeed. <3
PS... This image was taken in Sedona Arizona, of the Chapel and.. This was on a 35mm camera.. I think a rebel. But not totally sure. I think it's a beautiful shot! And hopefully someday while I'm still alive we get another comet to move through so I can get some neat shots like this. ._.
