Photography withdrawals...
I really want to take pictures of lightning storms and tornados. =(
If I ever had any delusions of "going pro" as some friends suggest, one huge fact reminds me of what a bad idea that would be:
For the most part, posed shots bore me. =(
I don't mind doing photo shoots for friends I feel comfortable with (and vice-versa) -- sometimes I even enjoy it when the inspiration hits and creative juices flow! But I still prefer the "photojournalist" style, where I can capture candid, natural pictures and expressions.
I know that I still have lots to learn, especially about lighting and proper exposures. I recently picked up Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS2 by Bruce Fraser. The unnatural (too saturated) look I got when processing my pictures with Photoshop CS2 was bugging me too much, so hopefully this book will help!
Man... there are so many gadgets I really want... it sucks being financially responsible! Haha. ;)
...Although, I do plan to have a few new additions to my photography arsenal by the time the next batch of weddings rolls around at the end of the year! Muahahaha...
Work's been treating me well these days. Busy, stressful, but productive. I'm very thankful for the situation God's placed me in -- my work environment is (usually) laidback, and the stress is never overwhelming. The work remains interesting, the commute's not bad, and the pay's not bad. ;)
At the same time, this makes me all the more aware of the dangers of becoming complacent and comfortable; I always need to place God at the center of my life. I know that He places me in specific places for a reason...
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith." - Romans 1:16-17
