I was at Linnell Landing during another spectacular sunset on Cape Cod Bay in Brewster last night. My fuzzy winter hat was pulled snugly on my head with my purple scarf tied as tightly as it could possibly get around my neck without choking me to death. I'm barely able to breathe but I can still see my breath like smoke with every exhale through the yarn. Every once in a while it's nice to have those visual reminders that we're really still alive. The cold never bothers me when I have my camera in my hands but I often think to myself that if anyone were to ever see me wandering around on the beach in that weather, they'd probably think I was some kind of a lunatic or something...and that makes me laugh.
I'm still trying to define my own photographic style and take every opportunity I can get to test out new compositions and different light. I love it when I try something new and it actually works. That's when I get the most satisfaction from photography. I can now honestly say that my camera has become a part of me, and the way I see the world is forever altered. I'm sure that every photographer will say the same thing and I'm not trying to sound like everybody else. I've always loved taking pictures, but before I realized how to truly see in the way the camera sees, I was clueless. Now...I'm obsessed!
I want this blog to document, through images, the way that I see the world through the lens of a camera. I like the way Henry David Thoreau put it-
My thoughts exactly!
