One of the reasons why I enjoy autumn / winter so much are scenes like this.
A beautiful tree covered in a mix of yellow & green leaves. The sky at the bluest blue. Sure, summer skies are blue as well but not like this IMO. And on the ground, dead leaves waiting for be walked through. Crunching underneath your feet as you move over them. Dancing in the wind finding their final resting places.
I had my phone with me so this was the shot I took. Not high on the details but the colors are spot on. Tomorrow when I head into work I’ll take my compact camera with and see if I can get a better photo.
I’m currently working on two interviews. This is something I have come to enjoy. I’m also planning to talk to a few more photographers on Google Meet.
Over the past year I’ve done about ten (or nine) interviews.
I thought about it one day and said fuck it. At least I tried. And then I got a yes. Then another. Rinse repeat.
But I also got a few no thanks. And a few people who ghosted me.
It’s cool though. Not everyone has the time. Not everyone is interested in it. Not everybody likes to talk about themselves. I’m not a popular interviewer. I get it.
But I do take something from the yes and the no.
And this transcends my newsletter and interviews. It teaches me to take something from everything. Instead of thinking why everything is against you ask yourself what can you learn from the ‘defeats’. Change things up. Try something new. And it pushes me to do thing. Even if they don’t work out.
JUST DO IT.
Even if it doesn’t work at least you won’t be wondering about the outcome and have any regrets on it.
Thanks for reading : )
