Not sure if anyone still reads my blog posts, especially given my irregularity of posting. But if there is anyone out there reading this, thank you for persevering.
I am going to look to making some changes to the content and format of my posts, based off blogs I read with somewhat regularity. This way I think I can encourage myself to be a bit more regular in posting updates on my journey. I like the concept of providing small sample of images, and accompanying them with a descriptive text as to technique, medium, subject and/or inspiration. And as I am still (slowly) trying to determine my “voice”, “look”, “style”; a more structured approach may be just what’s needed to help things develop. And yeah, pun very much intended there!
The past year has seen a lot of changes, some good, some not so good and some indifferences but each has provided some growth. Travel has come and gone; short trips to the Outer Banks and an extended trip to Maine. All provided an opportunity to take photographs, both on film and on digital. Although not as much on film as I had intended. When it came down to actually hiking any real distance, less weight/bulk is getting to be my preference. Not that my Mamiya 645E outfit is excessively heavy or bulky; it just proves awkward to fit in a camera bag to carry securely.
I’ve also been doing some (so far limited) experiments with different films in an effort to identify which film stock I want to concentrate on shooting. To that end I’ll be posting some example photos and talk about my experiences with the different films. I’ll also be posting more sample digital photos and discussing the different settings and styles I was creating.
So stay tuned for the upcoming changes. Until then, keep shooting.
