Wanderings

Through the Pennsylvania State Gamelands, wandering with the camera around my neck. 

Saint's Cafe, early on a Sunday morning.

Who lives in this town?

Self-portrait.  I've seldom met a reflection I've not liked.

Near sunset on these cold, dark days.

Amazon is in town now.

Forced Shooting

I always forget that waiting for inspiration is a doomed approach to photography.  While inspiration has visited me from time to time, the more reliable path has been to just pick up the camera and work.  Make photographs without worrying about whether they're any good, relevant or important.  Just work.  Good things emerge when I just engage the process.

Keeping things simple.  One camera, the Fuji X-Pro1, and two lenses in a small canvas case.  It's all I need.  Wonder why I keep thinking I need more to be productive.

Wandering around the house.  It's nice having mirrors to transform the space.

 Kim's artwork is everywhere.  Mine is hidden away upstairs.

Lily stays near in hopes I'll take her for a ride in the car followed my a walk through squirrel and rabbit country -- the Penn State University Park campus.

Junior is smiling because he went for a ride and had a walk through town.  He even paid a visit to a local cafe and bookstore.

 Stuff around the house.  Never know what you'll find artists collecting.

Late in the evening.  Reading a book.  Postponing sleep.  Still using the camera.

Chaos and Confusion

 Ugh.  The weight of everyday living is piling up.  Not doing anything and seemingly unable to motivate myself into action.  Picked up the camera this evening just to hear the shutter trip.  It's bullshit to wait for inspiration.

 Complaining about subject matter.  There's always myself.  Of just anything around me.  Time to quit whining and use the camera.  That's why I have it.

My spiritual life is in chaos.  Difficult to separate the divine from the mundane.  The result is drowning is stuff.  The camera sees it but I don't.

The dog knows something is up.  He is patient and waits for my next move.  Any move.  Poor dog.
