C - Since first learning about photography I have spent a lot of time working on a 52 week project. Every week I focused on a theme and I look for things to take pictures of that represent that theme. Some of them are as simple as spring or winter, but those are my favorites because I can capture the beauty of nature. I really enjoy finding the interesting things that naturally occur. They are usually the things we see ever day and we never realize how unique some things can be. I don't necesarily enjoy taking pictures of man made things because they usually look so drab and unnatural, and if I find something naturally interesting then I dont disturb its natural randomness. An example would be the way pine needles fall to cover a hole. The needles lay so neatly together that they could not be arranged in a better way. Trying to capture these images has taught me to really admire and want to protect the natural order of things. Just in my back yard, The woods seem to be a mess and over grown where they touch the edge of the property but just beyond that layer there is an organized system that I could not even try to fit together in any other way. Other than nature, I like colorful pictures that inspire happiness when they are looked at, and glossy pictures of the water.
Speaking of water, it was warm enough to get back out there skiing last week. It felt good to be out on the water again.
