I think I stated I was doing 30 days of black and white...Oh well :) This project is meant to open my horizons, expanding my skills and dipping me into the uncomfortable zone. It has at times, more on the backend where the processing takes place. I feel my "eye" for shots has expanded some, just for the mere fact knowing I have to take a shot each day, so I'm constantly scanning for a "good" shot. I also find that I'm looking into the shot more, putting more feeling into it...as in "why do I want this shot?". I can see I'm starting to appreciate it a lot more just for that reason alone.
Now, I have yet to venture out and start snapping people in public places...that will come in due time. For now, I have the urge to get out in nature! It is in my blood and it's what makes my heart beat. I have yet to find anything in this world that puts me more at ease and and gives me that true feeling of comfort...to the point I could easily just lay down in some meadow and fall asleep and not have a care in the world...that is where home is for me.
Given that, I went out today and purchased $40 worth of local hiking, biking and pure nature exploration content that will take me deeper than I ever have been in the back country. The hiking map alone, gives over 435 miles worth of trails. The one I currently have on my agenda, would be the crazy biking map that will take me ~60 miles in the back country and over two days of adventure...that is what love is all about!!! What does that have to do with photography and making me grow? I don't have all the answers, so it's my job to present my journeys along the way and bring the back country to your desktop while you sit there sipping your tea and eating your crumpets.
I have no time table when the nature theme will end if ever. I may just never make it back...if I don't...PLEASE do NOT send help :) I might just be enjoying myself.
