    Photography Has Changed Me

    Old Town Alley

    The dream to be a professional photographer faded many years ago. I find it interesting that when I eliminated the word professional I began to really be a photographer. Photography began to be a part of me, something I needed to partake of on a regular basis. It began to change something within me, opening my eyes and really see the world around me, whether that’s photographing a sunset or a walk through an alley in my neighborhood. I continuously look for “the more” and find it to be a wonderful process and journey. Yes, photography has changed me.

    This was taken 11 years ago during  a photo session with Susan and Haley in Old Town.  I was new to digital, as well as portraits, so it was a good learning experience.  Learning continues today as I shot but also as I look back through the archives checking lighting, composition, pose and EXIF data. I found a handful of good poses and expressions that are not usable due to shutter speeds of 1/5 of a second. Hopefully that would not happen today.
