My best shots are captured when I slow down and take the time to nurture a scene, digging deep in one place rather than hurrying from scene to scene, clicking and hoping for the best. That often means feeling a bunch of fear in the face of possible rejection or maybe even confrontation but that's what it takes. You see when we're scared we rarely scratch beneath the surface and our images are often quite shallow as a result, little more than snapshots. But we can use fear, notice when we have that fight or flight urge to hurry and we can stand our ground. We can swim against that tide. And ... it takes practice.

These images were shot on the Fuji XPro3 and the Fuji 23mm f/2.0
