Last year was not my best year in photography. I’m not sure why, but that’s the way it is. I realize now that I was suffering from photographer’s block. It’s not that there wasn’t anything to shoot, I just wasn’t inspired to shoot. I was tired of the same old same old landscapes and trips [...]

I make new resolutions at the start of the new year. I don’t keep them, but I make them. This year I am making one that I am going to keep. I am not going to spend any money on new camera equipment this year. If I want a new lens (which I do), I will sell one that I have in order to buy it. Photography is an expensive hobbie/profession but it does not have to be. The gear I have is great but in the digital age and with the use of social media you are constantly bombarded with the next best/new thing. Another part of my problem last year was that I was always thinking that I needed the newest gadget, camera, lens, software, etc. I am going to use what I have and really focus on shooting. Just get out there and shoot and not worry about the gear.
So, in saying that, I will leave you with a shot of a not so new camera from the film age. It is my friend Donna’s beautiful Argus 75.

In the spring I took the lovely Katie’s prom pictures and was honored to get to take her senior ones as well! She is always a pleasure to work with and up for indulging me when I wanted [...] |
 We Went To Disney World!We finally did it! After years of our daughters begging we gave in and took the plunge! It took months of planning (that’s just the way I am), more planning, and more planning. There are so many choices to make! Are you staying on the Disney resorts or driving in? Which parks are you going [...] |

 Photography & Second ShooterWhat in the world does this mean? I’d never heard this term “second shooter” until I started hanging with fellow photogs who shoot weddings. A second shooter is someone who assists and aids the hired photographer during a photography shoot. Essentially a second shooter can fill in the gaps and help provide complete coverage of [...] |
 Yeah! A New Post & A New Look!I have yet another new look for my blog and the truth is that it may or may not stick! There are so many options with WordPress but I think I’ve found something that suits my needs. There will still be a little tweaking here and there but hopefully not much will change. [...] |
 Birds, Birds and More Birdscardinal, a photo by Rhonda in TN on Flickr. I’ve been enamored with all the birds at my feeder. The first thing I do lately when I get home is grab my camera and head for my back door to watch the birds. This little guy was so pretty and I’ve also seen a cute [...] |
 A Walk DowntownWhew! What a week! I had been working non-stop at my regular job and also at moving my grandmother-in-law from Bristol, VA to Murfreesboro when I realized that I needed a little “me” time. Luckily my friend Donna asked me to go shooting with her downtown. I really didn’t feel inspired to do anything but [...] |
