I haven’t had much time behind the lens lately. Between work and personal obligations, there isn’t enough hours in the day. Sadly, photography isn’t how I earn my living and so I’ve been dealing with camera withdrawals. Even in my daily life, I would be walking past someone or something and I found myself reaching for Artemis in my handbag. She was there, as always, though time never did allow. It makes me sad more often than not. Alas, life makes you work for what you want and so, I press forward.
I do have a couple of shoots lining up, though, and for that I am excited. What can I say, I have a list of people I want in front of my lens and I get one of them hopefully soon. How’s that for a little photo boner? In the meantime, I do things on a daily, when and if I can. For example, this particular set was taken on Mother’s Day while attending a lantern ceremony in my aunt’s honor. I tried not to get carried away taking pictures, yet it was harder than it seemed to not do so. I took varying shots. Personal ones, for myself and for my family, as well as some artsy ones like these. I hope you enjoy them. Check back for more images soon.
