I love shooting with professional camera gear. It has expanded my world as an artist in ways I never expected. And I hope to keep improving. But, I’ve never really wanted to be a professional photographer, because I know how much work it takes to be really good, and my true passion lies elsewhere (in 3D). But it sure is fun when you’re in love with your subject matter.

We’re coming up on our second year of covid lockdown. Even as we confine ourselves and hunker down. So much has changed. So much has happened. There is so much to be gained in the winter months. Time to plant our seeds of thought. To reflect and consider. To tire ourselves out with fun in the snow, and sit by the fire to rest.

Spring is coming soon. It always does. It’s always my favorite time of year. How do I want my new life to look when we all start to re-emerge. These are the things I have had time to consider. A silver lining of covid.
