The challange of using phone as camera and odds hours to photograph (About 3 Part 6)

Hope: My friend Steve, also an art fair artist, captures his images on an iPhone. He decided to take a walk at the Dog Beach in Bonita Springs, Florida, after setting up for The Bonita Arts Festival. We joked around and started taking pictures with our phones. Steve reminded me of the potential in working with limited equipment. This experience reinforced the idea that knowing the limitations of the equipment, combined with experience, can lead to capturing remarkable images. I use this as an example for younger generations with limited funds, demonstrating the possibilities of what can be achieved when working with what you have.

Sunset at Virginia Beach: While loading my van the sun was setting and the moon rising along with a cargo boat visible in the distance. This ended up being a beautifully timed moment, where everything aligns perfectly. These experiences are gifts, offering a sense of connection with the world around me.

Realize: For some years, I had been visiting the riverbank (Christmas, Florida) and found it unusual to see alligators and airboats moving through the middle of a pasture field. I observe large alligators sunbathing while cows graze nearby.  It is a fascinating and surreal scene, with the juxtaposition of alligators and cows in the same environment.
