“My own eyes are no more than scouts on a preliminary search, or the camera’s eye may entirely change my idea.” Edward Weston

We’ve headed for home via the Oregon Coast, with a stop at my Son’s for New Years Eve.

At one point during the drive along the coast, I looked down to see that I had two camera’s in my lap, ready for any photo opportunity that presented itself. I tend to see everything as a photo op now . . . though I am becoming more and more selective in what I shoot. A year ago, I would shoot frame after frame of the same thing. Now I am quite a bit more discerning . . . and try to find the not so obvious beauty in the frame. I’m not always that successful . . . but every once in awhile a really, really good shot sneaks through!

I’m excited for where the New Year is going to take me in my Photography journey. I’ll be starting a 52 Week Challenge that has Monthly Technique Themes. Check out Michael The Maven’s Forum for more details if you’d like to participate as well.
