It’s important to develop different creative aspects of yourself. This weekend Laura and I went on the Scott Kelby photowalk. We’ve done it before, and it’s a lot of fun. You get to meet new and interesting people, and wander around taking photos. Now, I don’t profess to be the best photographer, Laura is sooo much better than me, she always has been. But I enjoy it, and it gives me reference for drawing. It’s fun, and good exercise, both physically and mentally. You start thinking about pattern, line, form and composition in a different way. Composing the world around you through that little viewfinder, makes you be selective with what to include, what to exclude. Shifting that focus over 10 centimeters, can make all the difference in the shot.
After we finished with the photowalk, we all gathered at Under the Volcano, for lunch, a real chance to talk with everyone and share experiences. I was so happy the rain held off. The overcast sky and damp foggy morning made for some really interesting shots.
So here are a couple of my favourite shots from the weekend.
Then, after the “official” photowalk, Laura and I kept going for another hour or so. Here’s a couple of my favs from that.
Gorgeous :). The tree and bark is my favorite.
Thanks Matt. It was a lot of fun. I think I like the seed pods the best, but that bark was pretty cool.
