Like a Leaf in the Wind


Photography.
Whats your specialty? Your area of interest? Your Style? Is it landscape, candid, aerial, cars, sunsets, sunrises, long exposures, sports, HDR, action shots, abstract or a million other styles?

For me, I find that to be a very difficult question to answer. I love all of the above. It really depends on the mood I'm in that particular day. Some say it's important to stay with a single style. You should strive to make your name synonymous with your style. When an individual sees your images they can easily see that it's one of yours. You must admit there is no mistaking a Monet or an Ansel Adams.

So what do you think?

Do you stick to a particular style? Is it because you feel like you have to or is it because you want to?

My Father's House is Locked?


I just assumed that churches were open to the public 24/7. You have a problem with no where to turn? Stop by your local church, right? Sorry no one is home and the doors are all locked!

It really got me thinking about how many horror movies I have watched where the characters ran to their local church for safe cover. Can you imagine if they were being chased, ran to the church and the door was locked! I would end up prey to the Children of the Corn, the Tommy Knockers, Damien or Sweet Carrie. I just can't run as fast as I could when I was younger.

I guess with unemployment rising, business's closing, families losing their homes to foreclosure,and domestic violence increasing we just cannot trust each other anymore. The sad part is that's when people need that safe haven more than ever.
