Getting my feet wet
This all wound up better than expected. First I was hemming and hawing about whether to get out there and shoot; the setup was meh worthy at best, its lone saving grace a distinct color cast from scheduled controlled burns in the area. I packed my car. I looked up one last time. I unpacked…
Mirrored Worlds
Pictures aside thank you Daylight Savings Time. It’s a real victory being able to chase light and photograph after the long commute home.
