I was reminded of this in an email I received yesterday from a former student and friend.
"Just a note to say that I miss your postings on your blog. I periodically like to check in to see what you are doing. Your photographs are beautiful and your comments always interesting. I even like to refer back to your archives - sometimes for info, sometimes for inspiration."
I don't really have an excuse for not posting. I guess I thought that no one was even looking at this blog. But obviously I was wrong.
So going forward I am committing to produce at least one new post a week.
In years past, I'd spend some of Saturday mornings at the Farmers Market taking photographs. This year I've only been there about three times and have not taken a single photograph until yesterday's trip. I guess I hadn't found anything to photograph. I felt that
I had photographed all the vegetables and the last thing I wanted to do was to produce the same kind of photographs again.
But something happened yesterday morning. And here are the results. Flowers! It just shows that when you think there's nothing new to photograph at a place you've been to over and over again, you're wrong. I think I went to the market thinking "vegetables" and because I did not want another set of photographs that I've done before, I started looking at what else was there.
This is my favorite photograph of the day.
All of these were taken with my Tamron 100-400mm. Its the lens I always have on my camera. I like it because its closest focusing distance is 4.9 feet. Now that doesn't sound like much, but at 400mm its just perfect.
"Tri-x, f/8, and be there"
