I had been wanting to try more food photography. Which makes sense to me, I’m narrowing down what I like to take a picture of. I like wildlife for a lot of reasons. It’s a different world, it’s freeing to not have this society of rules you have to adhere to. Animals don’t keep a…

On November 3rd 2019, I was doing my usual Sunday meal prep for the week. One of the things I was making was a creamy tomato, chicken,spinach and tortellini soup. I did the chicken first in the pressure cooker to be able to shred it into nice and easy pieces. Then added the rest to…

It was the following weekend, and because of the failure by making a big trip out of the day. I stayed closer to home this time and went to a different nature center. Now this place was off my map because it was rated so highly online. Meaning it was very popular. And so it…

Early on November 2nd 2019, I made a trip back to the forest I had been going to recently. And I walked far this day, further than I had gone before along this particular trail. I took pictures as I went, but it was very early and quite foggy . And sometimes you just miss…

It was time. The lens had arrived and I was ready. Packed a lunch and went out on the first available Saturday. I was headed up to the mountains, farther north than I had been before. Well, in Georgia. As we know a place in North Carolina is frequently visited. I had found a highway…

A decision had been weighing on me for quite some time. I wasn’t happy with work, it didn’t fulfill any kind of purpose. It was just day to day more or less the same thing over and over. I finally found something fulfilling, but in order to pursue that I have to put in the…

I was in need of a new area to view wildlife. There are just too many people around where I live in the metro Atlanta area. Every place I go there are always people out, which is the opposite of what I am looking for. People are rude and loud, scare off wildlife. And as…

I was getting restless during work hours. I wanted to go outside. I was listening to bird watching videos, photography podcasts. Doing online classes to learn composition and lighting techniques. I was all in at this point, and yet still confined to a 40 hour a week post. Even though I feel a little guilty…

Towards the end of September 2019 I was feeling more confident with photography. I was finding what I liked and learning how to do it better. By this point I had felt the pull of seriousness about this hobby and kept coming back to it. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts I have had a…

On Saturday the 14th of September 2019, my girlfriend and I went out to find a new spot to photograph. We tried a few places, but really nothing good. One place was next to water, a big lake. Probably Lake Lanier since that’s the big lake around here. But there were plenty of people there…
