...a celebration! Blog post number 50! A milestone! Hopefully the first of many to come. Well, it's a big thing to me. I'm really digging the fact that photography did not become a flash-in-the-pan interest for me. I've picked up and put down many things in my few years, but this feels like it has staying power. The only other thing I am this passionate about is writing, and I do both on this blog.
I actually wrestled with what to post for my big 5-0. I thought it should be something epic or at least something that shows some great progress of my short photography endeavor. I decided to not decide and just post something, anything, and not care as long as it had some artistic merit and meaning. I took this picture today at an art show. My wife and I strolled through the gallery looking at the different displays. There were two photography displays. Kimberly insisted that my photos were good enough to display and sell at these kinds of venues. I'm still pondering that one.
Anyway, this is my 50th post photo. I dig it. One, I've always wanted to do a shot like this with the shadow silhouette. I got the opportunity today at the art show. I really like the subject's position. The looking off into the distance, what could be the symbolic future. Getting a glimpse of things to come just before stepping off to meet it. This picture was perfect for post number 50. Here's to 50 upon 50 upon 50 more. Growth, progress, expression. Art is beautiful, forever.
