I find that I am drawn more to photographing nature in a way that is hard to explain.  When I arrive at a scene or view that intrigues me, my mind starts to visualize what I want the finished image to look like even before I prepare my camera to take a picture.  It’s almost an adrenalin rush that urges me to capture the moment before it vanishes as if it’s going to somehow disappear before my eyes.   This seems to occur just about every time that I go to photograph up in the Smoky Mountain nature.  I only hope that I never reach a point where this rush of creative juices runs dry.
