Let’s Get Cookin’

It is enough
To see the flower
To be the flower

A couple of months ago, I dedicated my youtube channel for photography education.
It has been a pleasure to extol the virtues of thinking outside the box and to search out a personal “voice.”
Along the way, I had to challenge myself to get back into the arduous dreamscape impression way of making images. Challenges and prompts are creative killers for me. The process needs to happen organically based on available information.
Stationing myself at the back of our property, I forced some of what I used to do. It was clunky and uncomfortable. As time rolled, I released the challenge and my body/mind remembered it’s little used muscle memory.
Wait. I had to wait for some things.
Find color, tones, structure.
Create impressions with negative space compositions.
Now armed with these arrows in my quiver, now, I could go to work.
I say it is arduous. It is, only because one needs to release all forethought, expectation, stress and become part of all that is visible.

Here is the only product for my efforts. Double exposure. One long, one short. By nature of the process, no textures need to be added.

My YT channel now contains the basics of camera handling and how settings will affect the final output. There are two main sections “Basics” and “Basics In Depth”
