BAKER: End of the Road
Well. To say this is frustrating is an understatement. However, I really underestimated how hard this project would be.
I’m not going to say what the project is or was. But before this can start, I’ve had to completely rethink the approach. The original approach to this really didn’t offer opportunities to actually get the camera out and make work, the way I wanted to shoot it depended entirely on external conditions. And as I have found out, even when the conditions and opportunity is there. The pictures were terrible.
So for now, it has been shelved. Not for good, but until I can establish some relationships with people who work in this particular field and take a whole new approach.
So while I work my way towards this, I am starting a new project. Well actually I’ve already started a new project. Will it have the same impact with people? Probably not. But will people like to see it? I think so but locally. And I’m fine with this. This new project is something I love and love spending time at. And its History, is HUGE!
Photography project idea
Document what you love or what you have an interest in. The work will be so much better for it. If you start a project on a subject, person, place, social issue, and you don’t care about or you are only doing it because you think its what people want. You’re work will NOT be as good as what it could be.
Anyway, I’m off to keep watching the Superbowl!
