These first blogs will be to get the routine down, he jitters out and the blood flowing.
The first thing i will share is that i've realized i've become very comfortable with my photography routine. I've stopped the internal questioning and analysis of the process. I tell stories with my photos, but to tell someone a story, you gotta tell it to yourself first, right? Right. But, i've stopped doing that. This must be the first question that goes through my head when i shoot: what am i shooting? what's going on? what looks different, special, strange, funny...? Who is this? Where are we?
Instead, I'm consumed with the technology of lighting. for the past year i've decided to use a strobe and with the help of David Hobby's generous sharing of invaluable information on Strobist, this has completely changed much of my photography, for the better. buts its also entered a new technical element into the equation, which is in no way simple and requires extra stuff and/or people at its best. So a big part of my internal dialogue is back to basics; how the hell does this work???
The good news is that i've learned strobe lighting; its opened up huge ideas and possibilities. The bad news, I'm falling back on past visuals that have worked while i struggle with the technology.
Okay, that was very journal-like. in future posts, i'll cut the self analysis part.
Lastly, Nikon just announced the D3x!! WHOOOOHOOOOOOOO
