However, my personal photography has been on a hiatus while I worked on photography for the magazine. During the winter it was hard to kick myself into gear, and any residual energy left over at the end of the day was begrudgingly offered to my spinning or yoga instructor, because those were the only ways I was active this winter. I've been getting stronger physically, and now I want to get stronger creatively. Spring really revives me, and gives me a burst of energy! I am riding the wave now.
I am going to start volunteering my photography with the Dream House Rescue, one of the best foster groups for dogs in the city. Everyone is a volunteer, and they bring the dogs to Petsmart every weekend for adoption events. I've worked with them before to photograph adoptable dogs for the website listings. The dogs are so sweet since they're usually socialized, and some are even trained! I know this time I'm going to fall in love with one of them. Or all of them....
My camera memory card was part of the spring cleaning this year. I've been going through old photos and found a few shots from a trip last summer to Atlanta. My friend Mere and I went to the aquarium, and we each had a camera glued to our face, even when we were petting the stingrays! I learned that if you're patient and willing to focus with an extremely small Depth of Field, you can get some great aquarium shots. And the colors! Oh, the colors! Well, see for yourself.
