Seeing an image is the first step in producing a good image. Well it seems like the image a day is starting to take hold. For the first time in a long time I saw something and envisioned an image. The second step is to portray the image in an artistically pleasing manner. This has always been one of my many weak points, I spent too many years doing factual documentary photography. I hope to improve this artistic skill within the next 350 days. Next is the technical skills, these fall into 2 parts capture and post processing. When I try, my capture skills are not all that bad. My post processing skills are another issue. I tend to stay with “that is the way it was” concept and fail to use post processing to enhance the image while not changing the image.
Photographic Vision. Many people have told me that most good images photographs and other types express something about the one who produces the image. This has been true of the images I have already posted and this one is no different. Here we have something old and a little run down. It is a little overgrown. But, it has not been abandoned.
After an absence from doing photography on a regular basis I decided to do a-picture-a-day-for-a-year project. As a direction I am attempting to use modern images where possible to relate times in my photographic past. As I am no longer a spring chicken, I can get philosophical some times. As a Christian I often see God possibly using me and my photography to send short messages. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I have enjoyed making them around Monroe, NC. TheElmo
