I've been feeling a little disengaged lately. Not that I haven't been completely consumed by photography as a whole, but from the actual act of placing the camera in my hand and capturing images. With the clock ticking down to the end of the school year, I realized that my quiet moments will soon be diminishing. I spent a few hours alone this morning, just me and my camera (and my new Tamrac sling bag-- yes!!). Now that I've completed my Intensive Portrait course from NYIP, I want to switch gears a little and focus on the wonders that the natural world offers. My objective: again see the world as a child and find intrigue in the little things. I wasn't on a grand hike through the mountains, I was on a simple walk through our neighborhood. I saw things that we don't normally see here in this area: dew drops and mud puddles. It's been especially wet and humid for the past few weeks. It feels downright strange. I'd expect this in other places, but it is definitely not normal for the high desert. The usual intense, afternoon thunderstorms have been replaced by consistent cloudy skies and misty rains. (Now how did Mother Nature know I've been missing Washington so?!). My little excursion has spurred my appetite for more... bring on the mountains.... rain or shine!
