Lost

Lost:

having gone astray or missed the way; bewildered as to place, direction, etc.

At this point in my photography I'm feeling lost. I've realized in the last month or so I've been way to worried about getting business with portraits or getting banger shots to try and submit to magazines that I've kinda lost what I really like to do.

I just completed my move back into town and in the process I had to pack my hard drives up and take them with me. While packing I took some time to look back through all the shots from the summer, it was an experience in itself to relive the summer through the images that I have taken.

Then I went and looked at some of my recent work and I saw a lot of different things. I won't lie... I like my recent work and I feel I have done my best every time I have gone out to shoot but my heart really hasn't been in it. It's okay to have these kinds of pictures but all of mine have been like this.

After Hunter's accident I shot for one reason: to express myself. I look back at the images from that time frame and I've realized that they truly are my favorites. In that time I could use a picture to clearly relate my feeling to a broader audience without trying.

I can't do that right now. I have drastically strayed and as of right now I'm going to forget about all of this other stuff with photography and work back to where I was at when I shot the following images.

These are my favorites. They bring me back to a place in my mind that would have been forgotten if not for them. Each brings me a distinct feeling.

Enjoy:
