solace

The following quote came from Army Sgt. Randy Swallows who was in the army and found his peace through photography. Photography can change lives.

"Being in combat hunting for people is no different than photography. With shooting you've got trigger squeeze, breathing, sight picture, the mechanics, what grain bullet am I using? All these technicalities of shooting. Well, that's just to be able to accurately fire your weapon. Then you're out on patrol."

"What's the difference between that and photography? Aperture, ISO, f-stops, which one to shoot? There's a foul ball cranking out to left field. Boom! Get six shots of the person before he ever catches the ball.  Some people find (healing) in hypnotherapy and some people find it in volunteering, I found it in photography."
