When I go out shooting I end up taking a lot of pictures - over 100k of them so far. Sorting through these takes a lot of time, reflection, editing and thought. I've tried to present a sampling and variety of what I shoot. That said this is not complete or perfect, nor will it be. But that's not the point.
Photography has become somewhat of a journey for me, both mentally and physically. Hiking as I shoot has helped get me in good shape. It also allows me time to reflect where I am, enjoying being in the moment, and gaining more understanding about what makes a good picture. Images can be technically great and fit all the rules. Others not so much, but that is not always important. There are times something catches my eye - do I stop what I'm doing and refocus my attention? I'm finding myself doing this more even if I have to re-trace my steps. It can be a learning experience that brings about a different view of the world I see. Hopefully it leads to photographs of interest, that makes the viewer stop and look a little deeper as well.
I look forward to hearing from those of you that visit this site.
