So much for that huh?
There's been a lot going on and many changes have taken place since my last update. I'm happy to say that they have been for the better. The most significant change was moving from a job that caused me heartache, stress and pain to one of positivity and HAPPINESS. I think that this change will also help fuel my drive to be more active here as I feel the fire begin to burn and inspire.
Despite my lack of updates here, I actually have been somewhat active shooting. Over the course of the next few weeks I will be adding in photos from recent street sessions, model sessions and random day/night documents.
For this first update, I'm moving through some street photography I shot back in August. It was a nice cool day with a little bit of cloud cover. It made for a nice cool day of walking around and I tried to match the tone with the feel of the day. Overall I think it came out well and I'm very happy with the results.
I started off the day at a nice little scenic park which overlooks downtown. I've seen it in a few other photos and wanted to explore it myself. Unfortunately it was a bit too crowded when I got there so I didn't spend much time. I will definitely be heading back and would love to schedule some shoots there. Afterwards I decided to head to Santee Alley. It was a crowded day there but unlike the park, this was exactly what I was looking for. I needed to get back into walking through a vibrant crowd and feel the energy of the crowd as it moved from shop to shop. Despite having done this many times before, I still felt a bit timid as I began to weave through the crowd but as time passed, all the familiar instincts kicked in once more.
The photography day wound down as a light sprinkle began to move into the area. With the crowd dispersing I headed back to my car and went home to edit (but not upload!) the photos. Flash forward three months and here you go!
