I was struggling for image today, nothing seemed to pop out. Sambo said if I wanted supper I best go get myself something. On the way I noticed the local kids playing soccer. And I thought photojournalism - Sports. I got to thinking when I took sports pictures in high school as the unofficial annual staff photographer, and the thought struck me I could have been in France this month on a lavish expense account photographing The Tour de France, had I only pursued Sports photography. This does not even take into consideration all the high priced equipment I would have. I went and found a bicycle racer to photograph and it made me so mad at myself, I went back and photographed the kids and their soccer game.
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
