In Search of My Style

I have pondered and wandered through the massive archive I have established and it struck me there are only a few images that I really really like. Bingo- theres a connection surely, the images that I'm most drawn to must reflect what my emotional perspective is and therefore in some instinctive way my style.I know technically and creatively that I will evolve and definitely need to, but there does seem to be a deeper psychological reason that all photographers have for wanting to capture images in their own unique way.

If your a photographer reading this post then I encourage you to do just that, look at the underlying theme that your favourite images have. It will be there and ask yourself "what does the way I see, say about me"Heres just a sample of my favourites that I'm drawn to what do you think it says about me and my style...I'm curious so feel free to comment. I know what I think I'm discovering and I'll share that in my next post, along with a few more insightful images.



Diva Fever 2008

A new year and so as always a new perspective. It's funny how as people we have this desire to reflect and redefine who we are and what our purpose is at the end of one year and the start of another (I wonder who came up with the idea of New Years Resolutions?)
So what are your goals for 2008?
Have you set some..or have they gone by the wayside already.
The thing is you need to have something to aim for otherwise we all just bumble about never getting anywhere, being stuck in a rut and muddling through life with no real purpose.
So go forth and set your goals for 2008, make sure they mean something and you are without question passionate about them. If there's no passion , then your goals won't be achieved, no matter how extreme or bizarre your passions and dreams may seem, if it gets you excited your on your way.
Life is meant to be exciting, an adventure so get the Diva Fever pitch running high and follow your dreams.
I will set the ball rolling and am happy to share mine for 2008, check back to see how I progress
