As photographers, we often seek out specific photos. We travel to the gorgeous, breathtaking location, or the iconic city or other famous subjects to create an image we know has a good chance of being strong. Although, there are plenty of photo opportunities all around us … all the time. We just need to be open to seeing them.

In this podcast, I share a story of how life put me in Fallbrook, California. It’s not a place that jumps to mind as a hotbed of landscape photography. However, when I switched gears from seeking a certain kind of photo, and let myself be open to seeing the photographs I could make, there were good photos to be had.
