Hello, loyal followers.
I know I've been more than sporadic and worse than flaky here lately. I've been going through some life changes and doing some soul searching. I have been getting more and more itchy to get my camera out and about and stretch out my shutter finger a bit. A friend of mine hit me up a few days ago to do a 52 week challenge. Take photos following a prompt each week to practice different aspects and to think of my photos differently each time. I find this a great way to reinvigorate myself and gives me a direction for each photo in order to stretch.
The prompts can each be found here: petapixel.com/2016/12/28/shoot…
Here's to hoping I get back into the hang of things and this fulfills my need to grow as a photographer, more than my failed 365 project.
I hop you all enjoy the photos as much as I'm already enjoying taking them!
Here's week 1's in case you missed it:
Happy arting, everyone! ^_^

Scratching
I mentioned a long while ago that I was just beginning to feel the itch to take photos again. I cleaned my sensor recently and have picked up my camera and started scratching the itch.
Feels good, man.
I have missed taking photos. Hopefully, I'll make more time for it, again. Time does have a way of slipping past when you're meaning to do something. I could not wait any longer.
Let's see where my photos take me.
The Itch
It is returning! I went to a pumpkin patch the week before Halloween and took some pics. I've been thinking about my camera since then. (Also, some new pics on the way! I know! It's been so long!) I hope everyone is doing well. I'm sorry I've not been such an active member. That unmotivated feeling seems to be lifting a little every day, and even more so on days I get my camera out.
I still have quite a few pics from my storm chasing that I haven't finished up. That's my fault. Kind of part of the whole unmotivated feeling.
Anyways, just wanted to let everyone know: I'M NOT DEAD. And my uploading should resume soon. :)
Thanks for your cont
Long Time, No Chat
Hey everyone,
Sorry I've kind of disappeared. I've had quite a bit going on with my personal relationships that required a lot of attention. I have been taking photos, only much more sporadically than usual. I shall be uploading quite a few after a storm chasing trip I went on a couple of weeks ago (I'm still picking out my favorites and editing them to my liking). I shall be uploading them soon, though, as my partner is looking forward to showing them all off and I need to finish them.
I hope everyone is doing well. I've been kind of drained on photo ideas, so I'm probably going to start my wandering again as I used to do on a regular basi
On Fails...
I'm sure some of you have noticed (maybe not - whatevs) that I haven't been uploading anymore to my 365 day project. I have quit. That is, I have actively set aside my camera for a week or two. I was starting to feel like taking photos for the project was a chore, and I was forcing my camera out for each and every shot. I thought if I started setting aside time to write journals about my favorites at a regular interval that it would help, but the simple act of choosing one was a chore.
I don't want this. I want my camera to be a joy to use. For this reason (to keep myself from burning out on it) I have set it aside, for now.
This is tempora
