The day-to-day has been pretty odd since the start of the COVID lock-downs. A lot of things have changed, including my job duties and how I work everyday. Often, I finish my workday mentally drained and not wanting to live in a digital world any longer. This makes it hard to do the work of finding fresh faces to photograph. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photography Fun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have certainly found ways to have some fun with photography this year. Between airshows<\/a>, networking events<\/a>, and simply getting out of the house<\/a>, I manage to “stumble” into things. I just need to do it more often. And I have managed to do some fun<\/a>, creative<\/a> portrait sessions as well, even ending up in Times Square<\/a> for a moment! When I get behind the camera, I am rarely disappointed. I know this and have for many years. The issue recently is forgetting how much it energizes me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh Faces And Familiar Friends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While photography can be pursued without company, fresh faces and familiar friends are better. It is the collaborative effort to create that drives me. Currently, I am finding the familiar friends are either as mentally drained as I have been or are buried in their own pursuits. Some have moved on to other things entirely. It happens. They know I am here, ready to work with them. The fresh faces, on the other hand, probably don’t even know I exist. Or, if they do, they might think I’ve gone the way of the dodo. Who knows?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
