What Is Enthusiasm in Photography?

Enthusiasm is often mistaken for simple excitement—but in photography, it carries a deeper meaning. The word stems from the Greek “entheos,” meaning “filled with inspiration” or “guided from within.”

In photography, enthusiasm is not just the feeling you get when capturing an image—it’s the inner force that shapes how you see before you ever press the shutter.

It is the difference between recording a moment and interpreting it.

The Space Between Destinations

Travel photography is often defined by arrival — the grand overlook, the iconic skyline, the perfectly timed golden hour shot. But what if the real story lives between those moments?

“Logistics; In Between… In Be-Twix…” is a collection born not from destinations, but from movement itself. These images are captured in transit — while shifting from one place to another — where most photographers put their cameras down.

That’s the missed opportunity.

The park is located inland from the original site of Paris Landing which served steamboat traffic on the Tennessee River. The site is now under the waters of Kentucky Lake, which was created by TVA when the Tennessee River was dammed in 1944.
