This year has been an interesting one for sure. A lot of small adventures, a few big ones...and little to show in the artistic sense. My photographic journey continues but not in the direction I want. Sure, I have snapped some decent shots and almost had one published in a collegiate journal (almost as in they didn't have enough space...oh well), yet I NEED to get my ass outside and exploring more often. Hiking, landscapes and flora, fauna, people!! SO much out there to discover but I seem to be trapped at home and in town a little more than I should be.
Therefore, my goal this summer is to shoot, shoot, shoot and process!!
Whether a morning sunrise or a sunset, a street scene in Portland or Seattle, perhaps a different city.
Maybe get up to the mountains and hike, discovering more out there. And then the beach is always an hour away. I live in an area rich with everything so that makes it so easy in theory. Work does present a minor issue in that it is right in the middle of the day. But my mornings are usually clear so this should make it accessible.
There are a lot of photo contests I want to enter and also some possible photo shoots ahead for friends. It is all in getting out there, nailing down the shots and the best part...
ENJOYING IT ALL!!
