So spring is starring us in the face and the summer season is upon us. Back when I owned my picture framing/gallery and one hour photo/photo studio, I was immersed in art. I loved all aspects of it and I really loved shooting and framing my own work. It went from a thing I saw to a tangible picture you could hang on the wall. Certainly I had enough to shoot around here (East End of Long Island) and always loved being around nature. Lately, I have not been shooting very much, nor showing very much, mostly work related stuff (CCE Marine Program) and shooting documentaries. I enjoy these things as well, but I had an ah-ha moment. I recently visited my cousin in NYC. He is from Hawaii, one of my favorite places. He had come to NY for business and was in the area. One of his stops was Art Expo and he had an extra ticket. I used to go all the time and enjoyed it very much. Winter is holding on but something about hanging out in the city and going to the expo, I developed a case of spring fever and when that happens I want to get out and shoot. To top it off, the artwork and the artists at the expo was such an inspiration. Justin, my cousin also had worked for Peter Lik one of the world's best landscape photographers and he had introduced me to his work, so I visited his gallery in Soho, again I was inspired. Here it is the "ah-ha" - 20 years later, 20 lbs heaver and I realize "I can do this" again! How about that! Not all that grand, but a good feeling. So, the first thing I did today is get back involved with the East End Photographers group and get involved with a show and continue to be inspired. Well, I'll keep you posted on my progress and invite you to my next show.
