Day 6 / 371 –

Back in the fields.

One of the things I have been thinking about is a Patreon account, and what I could offer.  I don’t want everything to go exclusively to people who are patrons, but I also want to offer things to people who want to help support the art and photography.  Some of those things include full days of shoots sent to patrons instead of one from a day, PDFs of shoot days and photo essays, and maybe prints sent out.

It’s hard to guess what people want, and while my audience is small right now, I feel like this is the year to expand what I’m doing.  So the comments are open.  What do you want to see?  What would you be interested in becoming a subscriber to?  What would you like to see “more” look like?

I’m also adding a PayPal donate button.  If you want to help a little bit, you ca put a few dollars in there.  Current expenses include gas to get to shoot locations and some much needed sensor cleaning.  For the most part, I have all the camera equipment I need, other than a lens that has to be replaced.

Anything you can do to help is appreciated.  Simply letting me know what you want to see more of is helpful.

Thanks for helping me to become a better photographer.

Day 5 / 370 –

I was out shooting yesterday, and I wasn’t really happy with how the photos turned out.  I was very happy with the subject matter.  So I think I’m going to have to go back.  This is from that shoot.

Day 2 / 357

It does feel weird to post something I didn’t shoot today.  Almost like the surprise of what is to come is ruined.  Then again, I have plenty of things I liked but didn’t make the cut, so it’s nice to visit those.

This was from Dec. 5, 2015.  The lake I passed was coated in fog.   A covered bridge had fog warnings all over it.  I’m sure it was a regular sight to the locals, but it was special and amazing to me.  I tried to do some punching up to it, but nothing looked right.  It turns out it didn’t need anything.

As ever, clicking the image makes a better version show up.  I’ll work on getting that part of things fixed.  WordPress does what it does sometimes.

Day 1 / 366 –

Let’s start this year off with last year, taken on September 2, 2015.  Utah.  Somewhere in the middle of it, along US-50, the Loneliest Road in America.  The 365 post for 09-02-15 is a little more true to the moniker.  There aren’t many places in America you can drive off the highway a half mile and not hear or see another car for a long time.  The Loneliest Road is a marketing device for the benefit of small towns that lie along it.  You can get a “passport” to have stamped at the cities that lie along the route.  Mail it in and they will send you a pin.  I’ve done it twice.

US 50 spans nearly the entirety of America, Washington, DC to West Sacramento, CA.  This is the part everyone talks about, for it’s lack of anything to talk about.

It’s not that lonely.  If you don’t mind the sound of your own thoughts.
