If you like my photography, please considering purchasing a print, the sales will go towards repairing my camera- After having medical bills from being very sick, I don't have the cash to repair it so I am trying to drum up print sales so I may continue to do what I love; photography. Sunday night while on a photoshoot up in the mountains, my camera gave up the ghost. It would appear the shutter died completely. After having just spent nearly a full week very ill in the hospital, I don't have the money to get a new camera or even repair it (it's loooong out of warranty) They say when it rains it pours, I think I must be going through a flood. I'm quite sad by it all as photography is my relief from an otherwise completely crazy world, it offers me peace of mind which I don't find anywhere else. This year has been incredibly hard for me, from being sick where I am facing my own mortality (because being septic is fun! Not.) to finances from hospital bills to just keeping my sanity, I have always gone to my camera to find comfort. Not much I can do now though I guess. I'll be honest with you all, it's hard being on here seeing everyone's awesome photos knowing that you can't do a dang thing to enjoy the same thing. In fact, it is downright depressing. Literally. Maybe I'll find a winning lotto ticket on the street lol

About the photograph- I decided to head out to the sunflower fields again last night. It's rather amazing how so much can change so quickly in just a few days time. The season is coming to an end as they are starting to die now but none the less still gorgeous as ever. I had a great sunset sky to work with which fro once wasn't covered in the smoke and haze of the wildfires burning in surrounding states. One thing I noticed while shooting this was how the light was glowing through the petals, something which I absolutely loved. Overall a fun time and challenging with the breeze at times but in the end, I came away really happy!
