What I am loving most about this 52 week portrait project is that it makes me go shoot. I am pulling out my camera almost every day. It sparks creativity for me too and gets the creative juices flowing.
I had a vision this day that involved a cute little dilapidated red barn just down the road from where I drop the middle little for pre-school. That was until it was super sunny this day, and the location requires an overcast sky in the morning or it’s in full sun. The only day this entire winter I actually hoped for overcast skies! That barn will still make it into the 52 project somehow, but this day we headed home and went into our own back-yard to do P-Mackey’s portrait for the week. There I found the most delicious flare by our neighbor’s fence! I am a sucker for flare. Lots of photographers will go to various measures to avoid it, but I go through various measures to incorporate it into my work. Every chance I get. What was going to be an addition to Paul’s 52 portraits turned into a sunny spread all to himself!
Also, it looks like our Sequoia tree may survive the winter after all. Oh how we hope “Admiral Ackbar” sees many more winters.
He’s looks so sweet. Great job on the pics!
Thank you so much!!! He is just the sweetest.
