What "Chasing the Light" means to me...

   
We have all had those moments; the moments where life and love intertwine perfectly. These moments happen often in life of course, but for me "Chasing the Light" was found somewhere in the mountains of Western North Carolina and came out of the mouth of my, then eighteen month old daughter. From there the happiness and joy mixed with a dream and passion grew into an on going project. Since "Chasing the Light" has come to mean so much more to me. As my daughter and I ran through the woods on that warm day we searched for interesting things, and the perfect light to photograph our adventures. I loved taking pictures of her of course, but often took pictures of things to help teach her. She learned to say "turtle" because we saw one in the yard, she learned that snails live in shells because she found one; trees, flowers, places, and many-many things she learned through our adventures and the pictures they produced. "Chasing the Light" became more then a game, it became a journey. An adventure where life and love often intertwine.
