Decisions

In March I made a decision to focus more on my photography.  It is a passion that I have found is bringing me some peace and serenity.  Something that I had forgotten about because I had not been escaping with my camera. 

At that same time I applied for a fellowship which I did not receive. It would have been nice to have the financial backing to pursue an idea but in the long run I think I won big time.  Getting behind my camera again has given me further insight in a part of me that was missing, something I had forgotten about, my passion for photography.

When I made this decision I started going through my images. Literally thousands of them .  What a job that was.  By doing that I was inspired and also found some favorites that I will share here with some stories along with them

(The two images here were photographed a few years ago when the Mississippi was low enough that I could sit on a chair in the middle of the river with my camera on a tripod.)
