In Bloom

Such a cracking day in Hamilton yesterday so I took the little 50mm out to see what I could find. Turns out Spring is finally starting to take a hold! About time too :)

Time to start all over again...

I've been looking through most of my shots taken over the last few years - and believe me, there's plenty of them - and realised that I wasn't actually achieving anything. Sure, I was getting a half decent body of work together and there are a few standout shots (for me at least) but overall there was no real sense of direction or purpose - I was just taking pictures. After a bit of a pause and rethink I've decided on an approach to photography that will work for me; more focus on style and quality, some 'concept' work, use of Photoshop more so but with a more professional aesthetic. Basically to 'have a point' with my photography. I've taken inspiration from numerous photographers online - Flickr is a great source for that - and decided on a path that I think will work for me and also make me a better photographer. I'll update the site with the stuff I have in mind and share the results with you all; hopefully you'll enjoy this journey as much as I'm expecting to. It's gonna be fun ;)

But for now, here's Leia. For no other reason than she sits next to my keyboard. Inspiration indeed...
