Sometimes a Break is a Good Thing...

industrial photography thunder bay industrial photography thunder bay I'm so sorry for all the silence around here. I feel like I'm finally getting into a natural groove in my new position at work which will hopefully allow for more creativity in my personal life! I'm actually kind of glad I took a bit of a hiatus because it allowed me to do a lot of thinking when it comes to my photography. I found that when I first got my new camera for Christmas, all my views as a photographer changed. I felt as though I needed to delete all my previous photos from this blog because "they weren't good enough" among other things. Focusing on this particular thought though, as you may have noticed I've added all my photos back since I started this blog. The reason being, this was all a learning experience for me just like it might be to somebody else who perhaps reads this blog. I'm still just a beginner myself but at the same time have come a long, long way since I first picked up a decent camera. I've learned more about the technical aspects of photography, proper composition & exposure, what it means to advertise yourself etc. I want all of that to be documented on this little space that I call my own. This is my blog, my photography blog. The first online space I've actually kept up with which really means something to me.. and I don't want all of my posts since the beginning to be hidden, that's just so sad. At the end of the day, I want to remain true to myself & my photography and that means showing the good with the bad! Going forward, of course I'll attempt to post only my best but right now, photography is still just a hobby & I'm going to post MY favorite selections. As usual, I can't wait for the snow to melt so I can start going outside without shivering my behind off and take some beautiful nature shots. I have some photoshoots planned for the Spring which I'm absolutely ecstatic for! And of course, I can't wait to take my usual nature shots and get a little bit more creative with them. Until next time!

    1. Thanks! We have so many old elevator buildings where I live.. People find them so ugly where as I find them as a photographic opportunity :)

  2. In my hometown growing up there was an abandon warehouse just like this, it always looked so beautiful in photographs. I've had my blog for almost three years (i think?) and there are times that I want to delete my first few months of posts, but I can't wait to look back on them later on and see how much I've grown creatively. It makes you appreciate all of your hard work. Enjoy your new camera!
