“You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”
Ansel Adams
I’m a bit rusty and it’s taken me some time to think about how I wanted to start this so here goes!
It’s been over six months before I properly photographed a show and wrote about it, and I’m really missing the photo pit these days. That’s not to say I haven’t been photographing: I’m freelancing and working a couple part time jobs! Needless to say, things have changed a lot around here since the last time you probably heard from me.
That being said, it’s been a while since I’ve attempted any sort of photography project and I’ve been feeling like it’s something I need to do. It would be nice to have a place where I can showcase what I’ve been working on that is a bit more personal and not have the unneeded pressure of it not “fitting in” somewhere. Not everything I create goes onto my website, and while photography has always been for me, it’s nice to have a place to share images that aren’t for clients, or for a publication, or that is only my music photography.
I haven’t utilized my love of photography (or writing for that matter) as a creative outlet in far too long.
So here it is, here it will be, and it will be me.
