Resting place

During an hour jewelry shoot, I took a break, and found her resting on this fern. I don't think she was doing too well. Went to check on her after the shoot but she was gone for better or worse. She's certainly really pretty thou, better than the jewelry for sure

Afternoon walk around Buda Castle.

An old Red Water image that I notice I hadn't posted

One last photo of the black & gold widow skimmer I noticed deep in the flowers & foliage close to the coneflowers a few days ago. Shot though a small window in the foliage. Saving as I never know when I will see another one. :)

im pretty sure that instead of getting better at bringing my ideas to life, im getting worse... its hard to tell, because my ideas themselves, i think, are getting a lot better and a lot more detailed... however i find myself over the past few months feeling scared to shoot my personal work, and really doubting that i can create anything, which is the absolute last thing i want to feel. i havent hardly been shooting personally at all (since march ive only made 3 photos that havent in some way been commissioned), and ive realized its REALLY taking its toll on me - photographically, but also emotionally. creating imagery through my camera is my rock in life and ive been smacked in the face and really reminded of the girl i was before i had that rock, and that girl is the last person i want to be again.

ive decided its time to rest my wings and focus on the important things again. i feel like i go through this same conversation in my head about once every three months, but i never actually do anything about it and each time the feelings get worse. life lessons can be a pain in the butt, but ive finally made a pact with myself to stop booking new paid work after september so i have time to actually try to be the photographer i want to be.

oh yea, also my pro account expired, so apologies for my old stuff disappearing. ill probably scrap together some change and renew soon.

power line stock. ahhh i wish i could have used this better...

- on an added note, i want to say thanks to everyone for all the super nice and encouraging comments, but also wanted to let everyone know that by no means am i stopping or falling any bit out of love with photography! its just a matter of practice, and ever since i began photography ive never spent this little time on my own work! so i feel like that lack of time is holding me back from growing at the same rate and obviously is resulting in less work which i dont like! and i actually think this piece is successful, otherwise i wouldnt have uploaded it... i think its just farther away from what i intended than my earlier stuff, which is a setback! :P -

before/after since has been added to facebook!

It's 3 AM on October 9th, 2023 and one of the last YN2 GP40-2s on the CSX roster rests quietly with CSX GP38-2 2792 in Cartersville, GA. Some sodium street lights on the road adjacent to the tracks help illuminate the power and set the scene.

Despite the power resting, it wasn’t all quiet this morning as a southbound coal train off of the Etowah Subdivision passed by a few minutes prior to taking this photo. After the short photo session, it was time to get back onto I-75 to finish our drive back to Orlando.

Taking a break in the sun

I came across this bee hanging out on a butterfly bush. It wasn't moving very much and probably resting. After I came in it changed to a different blossom.
