One of my favorite photographers is Dewitt Jones. He gave himself a challenge a few months ago to create one photo each day. To find something special each day, thus forcing himself to observe the world around him. Dewitt has always used high end photography equipment and a few years ago he realized he was no longer having fun lugging around heavy tripods, big lenses, etc,. At that point he started using an Iphone to create many of his photos. Although he still uses his "big boy" lenses/camera he tends to use his IPhone more and more. His images are simply stunning!
I will never be able to create the type of images Dewitt does nor will I ever be able to write with the eloquence he does but I am taking a turn with this Blog and will try to post a photo each day. Most of these photos will be taken with a point and shoot digital camera. Like Dewitt, it is no longer fun for me to go for hikes in the woods with a heavy tripod over one shoulder and just as heavy of a camera and big lens on the other shoulder. These photos will not be a "work of art", they will not be accompanied with eloquent words but they will show you a piece of my world each day and this will help me to keep photography in the forefront every day since it is what I love, it is my passion.
