For the first time in a long time, I took my camera with me for a road trip to Vermilion. There was a time when I didn’t even want to pick up my camera unless I was taking pictures for someone else. Not because I didn’t enjoy taking pictures, but because it felt a bit like work.
When we decided to take a quick trip to my home town of Vermilion, my first thought was to pack up my camera and document our trip. I packed it up without even thinking about it, and only when we were 1/2 way there and I had already taken 100 pictures through my car window, did I realize how long it had been since I took pictures simply for the joy of it.
Since attending the workshops and finding a network of fellow shutterbugs, I have started seeing life through the lens in a new light. I’m reclaiming my love for photography in a new way. I used to think there was a “right” or “wrong” way to take pictures and if I couldn’t do it “right”, I wouldn’t do it at all. Now, I’m finding motion blur, sun spots, and low-light situations fun and inspiring! I didn’t even pack my flash!!!
