I’ve been busy with work and family life lately and haven’t had much time to devote to my photography. That doesn’t mean I’m not thinking about it, but I just haven’t been able to put together a decent period of concentrated thought on the subject. And that’s too bad, because SoFoBoMo #2 is almost here.
Last year, my parameters were:
- new camera
- square format
- B&W
- environmental portraits
This year, I want to mix it up a little. I’d like to do more portraits, but unless something changes significantly, I don’t think I’ll have the time to visit all the subjects that I want to, unless I do something like street photography. The same thing happened last year, so I ended up with my family as the subjects. That worked out all right, but I don’t want a repeat.
So…with that in mind, here’s where I’m at so far for this year’s parameters:
- current camera
- square format (again)
- color or B&W (not decided yet, but it will be strictly one or the other)
- still life
That’s my stake in the ground, and now I have to let those constraints help me out. I may also restrict the focal length as well, just to see how that steers me. Macro is a strong possibility. Maybe also abstracts.
