Yesterday I took a couple of hours to head downtown and see the photography exhibit at MAM. I’m glad I did.
Right there in the middle of dozens of black and whites, it hit me. My photography isn’t about documenting the way things are; it’s about articulating the way I see them. I practically skipped out of there renewed in my enthusiasm for my hobby.
I toyed around most of the day remaining looking at new equipment. I eventually decided against any major purchase and instead settled on a new mid-range lens with image stabilization. It felt like a good choice.
The other point of resolve? A few winter photos. I’ve had shots in my head for a while, but good grief I hate being out in the cold. I’m going to try to tough it out and try to get it done anyway.
Maybe I should have ordered some thicker socks, too.
I’ll leave you with a couple of snaps I’ve taken that I was reminded of from yesterday’s show.
Where was the third picture taken?
The island of St. Kitts. That’s the Queen Elizabeth II at the top, I think.
I am particularly fond of the one with the children running.
