What are we here for?

This is a question that I ask myself all of the time. What am I here for and what is my purpose in life? There has to be more to life than sitting in a cubicle waiting for the clock to stirke 5:00 so I can return to living life. There has to be more to life than the 9-5 or the 40 hour work week. There has to be more than living someone elses idea of what life should be. I think that I am meant to share with others. What I am meant to share is becoming more and more clear. I am meant to share myself through my photography. I do not shoot photographs because I want to make money, although I did just start Chris Ohta Photography so you should book me and pay me to shoot something for you, but rather I shoot beause it makes me happy and gives me a sense of pride. This is what I am here for. This is what I am meant to do in life.

Do you know what you want to be when you grow up?
I think I just figured it out at 34 years old...
When you get home from work do you feel good about yourself as a person?
I want to...that is why I am going to follw my passion

A simple way of life, a loving culture based around family (not money), amazing people and scenery, and I did not see a single cubicle...Do you know where this is? (if we leave the "rat-race" you might find us here)

Campbell Family 6/10/2009

The Campbell Family have to be some of the coolest and most fun people we have met. You can tell that they love one another very much. We kept the group shots to a minimum opting for lifestyle portraits which we love to shoot. We had so much fun with them and look forward to the next session. The entire set can be seen at www.chrisohta.zenfolio.com

I love my family so much!!! We all had the opportunity to spend a week together in Chelan prior to Heidi's and my wedding which was on the 19th of June 2009. The week was absolutely amazing as we have never had our famlies in the same place. It was so special to feel the love from all of our familiy and friends, and I hope that they too felt our love for them. We love all of you!!! Here are just some of the photos that I took during the week and for the entire set got to: www.chrisohta.zenfolio.com
