Making New Worlds

Nikon D600
Lightroom 5, Perfect Effects, Photoshop CC

So many things are bubbling through my brain that I would love to share. It has been an exhausting and exiting few days. But I will contain myself and stick with one thing at a time. Setting up this shot was such an incredible experience! Bringing my own world to life was surprisingly empowering. And well, the solitude of the location was just what my soul needed to prepare for the shoot.

So, I am not referring to actually cleaning my house, although that is on my to do list as well, but it is time to do some of that yucky organizational work that I avoid because I would rather be shooting. My website is in dire need of updates. This blog could use some polish and then there is just the general updating and refreshing of all my external faces. Including designing new business cards that are more in line with the work I am currently doing. In other words the icky stuff.

I am preparing for a workshop on Contemplative Photography, so lately a lot of thought has gone into sense perception, and what actually gives us, as photogs, pause to take a shot and then the process we take in recording that moment. It seems that lately that my images are not being prebuilt in my head by some grand design, (well some are and hopefully more about those in a week or two), but are springing forth from flashes of color, shape or space. Take this shot as a walk through.
