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.

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 [...] |
Walter Hill Dam – Winter EditionIt’s been a long hard winter here in Tennessee. We’ve had record snowfall and temps and I’ve had enough!!! So, who’s getting tired of this dam? I swear it’s the nastiest place to shoot but you could never tell from these pictures and I always bring home something cool to work with from shooting here. [...] |
Mock Fried PieMy friend Donna always blogs her recipes and even a few of mine. I guess it’s time I did one! She’s been after me a while to do it, so here we go! Breakfast is a pretty important meal around my house. Everyone expects it and I enjoy it too. Can’t seem to get going [...] |
Shelby Park at SunsetI’m a little late posting this (about a week) but better late than never! Last weekend I met up with some really good friends at Shelby Park in Nashville, TN. We were all suffering from cabin fever and needed to get out and shoot! It was a little drab, but the sunset, as well as [...] |
One of Those Days….Ever have one of those days?? I seem to be having a few of those lately! Well I’m not a housewife nor am I mad, but this bottle of wine caught my eye and so I bought it! However, I do feel like saying “This IS what’s for dinner, honey” all the time! So to [...] |
