I agree, the F4 was and is my favorite camera too. mine is beaten, torn and damaged from travels all over the planet, but I will never give it away! it was just sooo darn cool to get it back then…
good read, that was and I hope you’ll keep making a living from photography and writing and maintain your lifestyle for the next decades to come.

Hey Guy,

I have to really admit am touched after reading this entry. Transforming emotions into words and describing different phases of a journey called LIFE. I feel that you are really blessed to have a person like Sarah as your partner.

A post which am sure i will be revisiting over a period of time.

Cheers,
Shiv

Touching recollections Guy. It never ceases to amaze me how nature can have such a profound effect on people of all nationalities, backgrounds and life experiences. It’s great to hear how it all came together for you with photography and of course Sarah.

Your writing is inspiring, as are the images. If only everyone could recover from the hardened heart of adulthood to remember the joy of being a child and the compassion for everything in it!

You are not the only one not using Ken Burns. Would not have even occurred to me.

This is a fantastic story–thanks for sharing. I think its stories like that weave the fabric that is our lives, and its really neat to see how the national parks have been a common thread in your life.

I think that’s probably why many photographers jumped on Ken Burns’ film with such enthusiasm–it strikes a chord with us and resonates in a way that many cannot understand.

I’m not sure I agree that being moved by something–and being vocal about it–constitutes “taking a free ride on someone else’s hard work.”

Thanks for this fantastic story–your writing and photographs are an inspiration to a lot of us.

Cheers,
Greg

Guy,

I find it amazing now how many people I know that have come to find photography in nearly the same way that I have. Mine took place on my honeymoon, where my wife Heather and I mountain biked 500 miles across the state of Alaska. I remember I was shooting images of Exit Glacier just outside of Seward when the epiphany hit me also. That was almost 12 years ago. I actually wrote a story that was published in a now long gone magazine named Mountainfreak a couple of years later. Hope you are well.

Jay
