So, I guess it's been a while since I last left any sort of an update. I'm sure many of you are being inundated by the many pictures I took while at the Holy Ghost Catholic Church. It's a gorgeous church, and the priest with whom I met was quite the gentleman. I really enjoyed taking and editing the pics. And a warning, I've only just begun with them. I have about another 10-20 left to submit from this outing (I was smart enough to go ahead and upload them to my Sta.sh, so at least I don't have to wait for that). Then there's an outing I went on with my sister, rachkitty, a couple of weeks ago. I have filtered the shots from that trip, and only just started editing, but there are plenty from that trip to upload as well.
Oh, and there's the project I mentioned a while back. I have picked out shots to begin that (61 - so be prepared) and edited most of them. I plan to get to uploading them soon, but I'm still contemplating if I've got what I want for it. I think I do. I have a whole plan to go along with them, kind of a guerrilla art tactic. I guess I can tell you about it, so you aren't completely in the dark and I don't have to dance around it anymore.
I took pictures of Denver through the bus doors. That is, I sat across from the doors, and took shots of the world as it is framed by the doors. I'm not 100% sure I'm done getting shots, but I think I am. That's how it was tied into public transportation just like my Instagram project.
Speaking of Instagram, if you haven't already, follow me and you'll get more shots (as well as a healthy dose of my private life, including some pics of my cats - I've really stepped away from that, though, and have been focusing on getting more artistic shots uploaded). I've been doing a bit of a street photography by taking pics of people (or the lack thereof: instagram.com/p/k-0Mv-ivKb/) on the train. It's been quite fun, and eye opening. That is, taking their pictures, I realized that most people are oblivious to the world around them once they're on public transportation. I can't tell you how many people stood in front of me on the bus while I was holding a camera aimed *right* at the door. Seriously, completely oblivious. It's deliciously fun.
Okay, I'll get to submitting more pics soon. I'd love to hear opinions from people as I upload them, so don't be shy. I need to go back through and filter out more pictures (seriously, I don't need 1,000+ images on here) and getting some feedback would really help me get an idea of what I'm doing right/wrong and where I can improve.
Thanks to everyone who still pays attention to my page and my art! Please know that you are fully appreciated.
52 Week Challenge
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: http://petapixel.com/2016/12/28/shoo
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

Hi Bob, I have just gone through all your pictures and I loved them. I can see why
you took so many of the church, it is just beautiful. I can imagine there being a photo
opportunity everywhere you looked!
I am so glad that you are enjoying life in Denver so much, although I have to say that
the building you work in looks scary tall, which floor do you work on?
It sounds like you and your camera have been very busy, but as always I look forward
to seeing your new stuff, including all those oblivious people when you were on the bus lol!
