We all feel frustrated about our photography at some point. But the doubs and fears are normal and part of the process. We get to create not because we don't feel them, but despite them.

The Columbia River Gorge is home to more than 70 waterfalls. It would take me weeks to even visit all of them, so in this video, I'll photograph just a handful. And while photographing a waterfall might seem pretty straightforward, I also want to share some tips.
