~About Dene Rossouw~
See my photography site at fotomoods.com.
I love photographs that stop me in my tracks. I’m inspired when a photographer captures the natural beauty of our world, an expression or a moment in time and blends it with an artistic approach.
When a photographer invites me to view the world with wonderment, or to take action, or I get hooked into a dialogue with the image, then I want to know what steps the photographer followed to hit the sweet spot. It motivates me to learn how my own photographs can reflect the diversity of our planet and hopefully inspire others to treasure it like gold.
My Fotomoods blog is a forum for me to combine my love of photography [and protecting the environment] with my passion for coaching. See my photographs at Fotomoods.com and my coaching and speaking sites at AuthenticDialogue.com and TheSenseMakers.com.
