A Few Shots - Here and There

I’m not going to even get into how long it has been since I last made a post there. Since the birth of my son, priorities have been shifted and naturally, he takes the top spot. But in adjusting and finding a schedule (somewhat) to do things that are important to me - physically and mentally, I’ve been able to find time to shoot some photos here and there.

Meshach and I are still working on publishing our first book with a collaboration of photos of the Seawall. It’s been a task finding time to go out, shoot, plan, discuss, and generally get the project to where it is now. Meshach is doing most of the work, I’m ashamed to admit, but I’m trying with the time I have. And our meetings have also allowed me to practice some photography on the Seawall - practice that was much needed.

I’ve managed a few shots which will be posted below. Nothing too fancy, but at the same time I was thinking - I’m doing this for me. I want to capture what I want to remember, what gives me calm, and what I find interesting. Photos don’t have to be spectacular; for me, they just need to pull at your heart strings, give you a moment of pause. Photography is meditation for me - it helps me focus on one thing, even get lost at times. There’s something in practice that brings me peace.
