“Patience is defined as, “the act or power of calmly or contentedly waiting for something due or hoped for.” We say patience is a virtue; it’s the quality and power of suffering with fortitude. Patience is a hard quality to manage in everyday life, with all the distractions and hyper-speed lives we lead. Now apply that to photography? There are so many photo sessions–whether it’s kiteboarding, climbing, surfing–where you are at the mercy of the weather, the conditions, the athlete. The best images are the result of pure patience, not just by the photographer, but patience from all the other players, including Mother Nature. I have seen sunsets and skies that leave my jaw-dropped and think, “Wow, how cool would it be to have that sunset, but with some radical action playing in that surreal light?” This was one of those rare moments where everyone’s patience played out perfectly.”—Richard Hallman
