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 through my town. I also really think I had a mini identity crisis with my photography. My interests mainly lie with the old: houses, architecture, historical places. Looking back on my work in 2011 I can see that I neglected my real interests in pursuit of something that I thought I wanted. I was kidding around recently with my friend Donna that last year I wanted to be the wedding photographer and I wasn’t sure what I was aiming for this year.
Now that the problem has been identified, I feel renewed. It was a light bulb above the head moment. I know what I love to shoot and I already have a few place in mind. Some new places. Something that will get the creative juices flowing.
So, I am going to turn this neglected blog into a thing of beauty real soon!
I hope everyone will enjoy my work of 2012!!

I can so relate to this Rhonda…But look at it like this, you never know if you didn’t try it. Wedding photography is very hard to those of us that don’t have that calling.
It’s much more easier for me to shoot a dragonfly than it is a bride. Look forward to seeing what you shoot this year, and don’t forget to take me along .
