I am thinking about fall and winter coming up. Planning on a lot of creative things I want to try.  I was also thinking about this blog - on how I have not posted here is a very long time and also on when I did post it was just a photo and no explanation or words. I want to use this blog to follow my creative journey making videos and stills. I want to talk about what inspires me and how I take my photos. 

So this is my first post in hopefully many that will matter, at least to me. The above series of pics are using my Nikon D750 with various lenses. I am looking for some new places to shoot in my house and deciding on what lens could work. I usually shoot still life rather close up in my dining room window. They are nice photos but I am looking to expand and do more. I want to create more stepped back creative shots. Shots that tell a story, include more information and are more complete. I also want to combine stills and videos which I am working on but need more experience doing. 

I also want to talk about what and who inspires. Things I like. Props I have and will acquire. I want this to be a record of my growth - something to look back on and reread from time to time.  I will get better at this maybe adding video to these pages. 

For now that is about it. I also need to learn to budget my time a lot better - I want to do a lot but can't do it all in one day. I tend to jump from this to that and then get nothing done - no more of that!! I need to formulate a plan, maybe do some mood boards and blog about them, write down ideas about shoots and just be.
