#34 - Inspire Me - Congrats Steve

[Jonathan Huyer]

Wow, thanks Brian --- very nice of you. Yes I do live in a very scenic place, and with the huge changes we get through the seasons there is never a dull moment. Your uncle's photostream is amazing, and it is perfect for this assignment topic by being hugely inspiring. He obviously invests a lot of time and energy into his work, and has developed a high level of expertise. I would definitely get along well with him, as I would with you and most everyone on this site..!

@Jonathan Huyer I just took a quick run through your gallery. Wow. You do great work and live in an incredible place. You and my uncle would get along well, although he primarily has been focusing on birds lately. His photostream is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25467848@N08/

I agree. I have looked at Jonathan's site in the past and it is a bit humbling. What a great collection. I think the Snow Owl on the home page is the best shot of a Snow Owl in its environment that I have seen (love the frost on the barbed wire that defocuses as it goes into the shot).

You have said in the past that you are lucky to live were you do, and you do live in a senic area; but I have seen a lot of ugly pictures from others in your area also. So this is simular to Sean's post today: That is, it is the photographer that makes a compeling shot not the scene or the camera. There is some luck to being at the right place at the right time, but you make your own luck by putting the time in and being out there. Plus you have skills... don't sell yourself short.
