Another image from Eklutna Lake, this fall. It was only a month ago… but it seems much further away now. Alaska has shifted to more of a monochrome theme with the beginning of winter. No less beautiful than any other time of the year, to be sure… but I do miss the gorgeous colors I witnessed this past fall. Anyway, just wanted to share this image with you – I’ve been going over some images from this past year. Trying to learn from some choices I made on shoots this past year. Every time we (photographers) go out, we make choices, selections, omissions. These things will forever alter not only the images we create that day, but every day to follow. Choices are like playing with dominos. One action begets further results – these results change our perceptions on our future creativity. The only way to remain flexible and open minded is to review your past choices and ask, “what other options did I have?”. “Is there a better option? How could I have captured this moment better/more thoroughly/more distinctly?”. In short, “can I make this better”. Then, when another creative period comes, I have this note in my head that may allow me to make better choices. Time will tell:) Take care everyone.
