In The Yard – ITY07
While I was away on a business trip I had some extra time in the morning before I needed to head over to the supplier I was visiting so I was able to read a few more articles every morning. One article in particular at Digital Photography School lead me down a path and has me thinking a little more about how and what I photograph. It was Do Visual Push-Ups Everyday to Grow as a Photographer by Valérie Jardin. This of course brought me to her website and now another photographer I will be checking in on to read more articles.
What really struck me was the projects she uses to keep herself learning and exploring. The I thought about all the various projects or themes I have started over the past few years and how I do not keep them going. I get caught in trying to capture the big, beautiful sunset or the expansive landscape and forget about the little images all around me.
Last night after I got home from the trip and unpacked everything I grabbed the camera for a walk around the yard. There were quite a lot of opportunities and I decided I need to work on my In The Yard series. Images I capture while walking my yard and fields around the house. Of course, the first one I really liked was from the barbed wire fence. I guess you can’t break with tradition…

Delta Lake Evening
Delta Lake State Park
Last night I stopped over to Delta Lake State Park to see what I could find during the sunset. Still a little windy and cold outside but the were plenty of opportunities for images. I walked my little route from the beach around through the woods between the shore and the picnic areas. I was still a little early for the new growth to be photogenic but that just gives me a reason to go back.

Riverside Park, Indiatlantic, FL
I really love this dock/boat lift next to Riverside Park in Indiatlantic, FL. My previous post on this subject, Simplicity, was an attempt at the long exposure, black & white image style. This post was a little of that but also an attempt to capture more of the character of this dock. I went with the square format to bring more attention to the dock. The previous image the dock was almost secondary to the long exposure water and sky. I’m positive I will be photographing this dock again when I next visit the Melbourne area.

Helsinki Bus Station Theory
I have talked about photographer Tom McLaughlan (Ministract) before on this blog. He is the photographer I found on Google+ when I started my photography journey who peaked my interest in abstract and minimalism in photography. Although I attempt to produce work as visually interesting as Tom when I fumble at abstract images I have more steps to take on my journey to be able to see the beautiful patterns before me. Tom’s latest blog post (Helsinki Bus Station Theory) not only brings another set of wonderful images he links to a very interesting article about photographic vision and personal commitment by Arno Minkkinen. I encourage you to go check out this post…
As I am still having issues with my main photography computer I am including one of my abstracts from last year. An interesting pattern found in the shop…
