I love being a Wedding Photographer and Portrait Artist. But I have a small confession to make. Sometimes I need to do other things. Like I don’t want to be the guy in the Dunkin Donuts commercial–“It’s time to make the doughnuts.” Because no matter how much I love my job, sometimes I don’t want to make doughnuts. Maybe some days I want to make creme brulee. That is why I create personal projects for myself. It keeps me learning new things and makes me excited. And I think that helps me bring something to my Wedding and Portrait Photography.
This particular project came about last winter. I happened to make some photos in my yard of just foliage, etc. And then I thought it might be kind of cool to periodically go shoot things around the yard using only my 100 mm macro lens at f4. The f4 was just randomly chosen, I don’t know why. But it made me think very precisely about what I was photographing and why. So here are just a few from the project.
I don’t really know what, if anything, I am going to do with these. I think I already got a lot out of this project just by doing it. By virtue of the fact that I was not making doughnuts.
