Personal Images


Many of our photographs end up being what you might term 'personal images'. Stuff that is mostly of interest to us and us alone. These images often do not resonate with many others it would seem. Problem is, sometimes it's hard to tell, you know? Like when you post something you are particularly keen on to IG and it goes over like a led balloon. I'm sure you've been there. That's certainly one way to identify your 'personal' work, but it sure is not the most pleasant. For instance, the subject matter of this image is not epic by any stretch, but I'm interested in the color of the water and in how all the colors work together overall. The interplay of the reds, ochres and blues are interesting to me.

So, fellow travelers, good light to you this weekend, and I hope you find time to make some personal work.
