How Bright Your Candle Burns Is All About Choices
Don’t wait until your hair is as white as flames on candles
Everyone has a light within them.
Deep down, we all want it to burn bright. But keeping the flame alive requires effort.
The strong winds of adversity, loss, hardship, and pain can threaten to blow out our flame. Our job, however difficult, is to keep the flame lit.
For those of us whose flame is strong, we must use our light to help others kindle their flame.
So that they can illuminate the world, too.
“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.” — Charles Dickens
Paul Reid is a UK photographer whose light is burning bright, even if his work is often in black and white. His monochromatic photography was recently featured on the cover of Black and White magazine.
Reid shoots portraits, street images, and weddings. He likes to get involved in his wedding photos, capturing unrehearsed, unposed moments that capture the energy and light of his subjects.
I discovered Reid’s work by accident while researching the Leica Q2 Monochrom camera on YouTube.
