A Blustery Day

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”

The best thing about not having to blog everyday – is having more time to work on the photos! These were taken almost a week ago. Imagine that! It’s a Photo-graphical Revolution…! These were taken on a short walk to blow the cobwebs away after the rain and snow had cleared last weekend. The weather since has been up and down, predominantly windy!

I was trying to make the most of Photographing the ‘mundane.’ Everyday things that everybody sees, and showing them in a different light. I’m keen to work more without colour, to learn shadows and lighting.

Hopefully this weekend will bring some more photographic opportunities – I can’t wait for Spring to fully kick in, the weather to improve, and the photos to start inspiring me again!
