November - February Streetcap
I’ve procrastinated this post for a long time, mostly because the winter months are always a slow period for me, in turn my work becomes less consistent. Unfortunately, procrastination also breeds laziness, and so I will not be offering a complete breakdown like I normally do, instead I will share 3 trends and simply leave the gallery below. Enjoy!
Ricoh GRD III
The Ricoh GRD III is a great camera for the winter months when I don’t leave the house very often, and when I do it is for essential errands. As a result, I don’t really want to bring my full camera setup. The GRD III fits right in my pocket, takes great photos, and even has a flash to help in darker lighting conditions.
Telephoto Lenses
I have been shooting often with telephoto lenses recently. I really enjoy creating small subframes, carefully selecting elements to create a theater stage. It also makes it a little easier to shoot in tight quarters without getting in people’s faces, I enjoy using reflections and layers of glass to create a glimpse into a more surreal world. Sometimes I can get caught up in the more basic compositions with ‘trendy’ elements like silhouettes and neon signs, but I’m working on it.
Documentary Photo-Sets
I went through a phase of shooting documentary-style photography. I was being very intentional about including lots of context and shooting in photo sets in order to really tell a story. In fact, most of my photos were from various photosets - Open Streets, my trip to the Bahamas, the Christmas Tree Farm, and one of my newest projects - The Lincoln Memorial.
