“Anyone can take pictures. What’s difficult is thinking about them, organizing them, and trying to use them in some way so that some meaning can be constructed out of them. That’s really where the work of the artist begins.”

Just like my Groundhog Day resolutions, I need photography goals. I
know that I shoot from the hip but a part of me needs more as well. The
following goals are in no order other than what is in my head.
Finish this website. Streamline it and make it professional again.
Organize, once and for all, the Archives.
Shoot more film. My Holga is collecting dust and I am neglecting her.
Re-define who I am as a person and then translate this to my photography
What is the purpose of my photography? I’ve asked and received mixed results.
Add emotional impact to my work.
Continue to share my knowledge, to learn and to grow from my peers such as the Texas Shooters and Shots photography groups
I need a muse to help influence and inspire my photography. Someone
who understands and supports my creative vision, even if I don’t. This
muse would inspire my creative vision. Someone that will allow me
anything and everything. Fearless. No comfort zone because of the trust.
Find the limits and then cross them anyway. Every photographer needs a
muse, not just a model. A companion, my biggest fan and maybe even my
biggest critic.
This muse will help guide and instruct my creative
process with trial, error and success just by being there. The muse
will be honest, free and open with me to unleash my creative flow.
They
will fill up my photo card, drain my batteries, use up all my film
because the inspiration will not stop. You are hers and she is yours.
That connection between her, my camera and me is magic. My muse won’t
care for other’s work, just mine. And hers, because she is a work of art
herself.
Photo Denbow has redesigned and has a renewed focus. I’ll explain as changes roll out.
