Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph. – Matt Hardy

Posted from a fellow photographer: “If you ask yourself why photographers charge so much for shooting … They don’t get paid vacation, they don’t get paid sick days, they don’t get bonuses for outstanding performances nor for Christmas. They don’t have insurance plans nor do they qualify for unemployment. They sacrifice their family on special days so that they can bring happiness to others. Illness or personal affairs are not excuses for a bad shooting. Next time you ask, remember that photographers are photographers because of the love of photography, but that love doesn’t pay debts. Happy Photographer’s Day!! Re-blog if you’re a photographer or have good friends that are photographers.”
