My camera is piling on the dust, though not from simply sitting around not being used but primarily because I live in a gigantic dust bowl and this time of year its gale force dust storm winds are no joke. I'm itching, no dying, to get out there and shoot something! However, I am superbly limited in my photo-op choices in this town, even considering its overly present hill-billyness with tractors and old buildings all over town. Maybe the town is interesting looking through a lens to others? But it seems I'm ever increasingly tired of this backdrop regardless of the possibly unique photo opportunities, I need to figure out how to make the every day ordinary something extraordinary and actually want to capture that thing... good luck right? Today isn't this day, this week isn't either...
Regular life in an ordinary town is boring, that's why this week I'm visiting a new site for photos and going to take along a few props I hardly shoot with... people. People make the everyday ordinary very interesting and in come cases I'd say extraordinary, these two little people make my day extraordinary for sure. Photos to come, but in the mean time here is a little tid-bit of some of my previous work.
I love this photo, I love what it means to me, the colors, the fading, the napkins with people's mini stories, and the thought that the exact spot in the world where I was standing had been visited by this many people from all over our globe. Its amazing to re-imagine that one little shop hanging this sweet reminder of how small we really are, AH-Mazing.
