... Photography Bucket List ...

By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be - Mark Victore Hansen

According to the definition, a bucket list is a list of ideas you would like to achieve before you pass, or "kick the bucket" as some say. While I do have a bucket list for my personal life, I recently realized that I also have a photography bucket list. On this list I have places, achievements and photos that I would like to capture in my lifetime. Of course millions of thoughts have flooded my brain, but until now I never thought to share and document my bucket list along the way. So I grabbed a pencil and let all those thoughts spill effortlessly onto a piece of paper.  Some are a little cliche and over done, but either way their are something that I want to do. So, in no particular order, here's it is.... drum roll please...


 
1. secretly capture a proposal
2. elderly couple madly in love
3. surprise birth annoucement
4. birth session
5. dancer in mid air
6. lightning
7. complete a 365 Project
8. photograph my brothers wedding
9. attend WPPI
10. have one of my pictures published
11. become apart of The Tiny Sparrow Foundation and capture pictures for deserving family.
12. capture a photographer in action
13. have a photographer capture me in action
14. open a studio
15. photograph a complete stranger
16. session in the rain
17.  series of seasons from the same location
18. inspire somebody else to become a photographer through my work
19. bird in flight
20. dramatic self portrait 
21. nude shoot of a tattooed girl
22. city life night shot
23. raw emotion


There it is. I will be keeping everyone updated as I start this journey to complete my bucket list, and of course I know several more ideas will be added along the way.
My Bucket List journey starts right now. I welcome you to come along for the ride.
