Leaves and Mille

Posted by Rob (Velveetaville, United States) on 11 November 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

I haven't posted for quite a while now because I felt as though I was in a photographic rut.

So I was trying to figure out what to do with my photography. Looking at many photoblogs I started wondering if I was really in a rut or if I was a one trick pony.

I have taken many images of my two dogs and was thinking people would be getting sick of them and I needed to find other things to photograph. Well, I thought about it a lot and finally came to a conclusion. I was told by a teacher once that you need to photograph things that have meaning to you personally. You shouldn't care what people think and to just capture what moves you. That is the only way that you will connect with your subject and be able to give that image life. If you don't do that no one will ever get your art or feel what you feel. Well my dogs are what move me for now so that's what I am going to stay with for subject matter. At some point some other connection will come and I will move on to that subject but for now... it's my dogs.

So, with out further fan fair...

Today was weekend number four of raking leaves in my tree filled yard. Mille just needs to be with me, always... so she even puts up with a rope lead to be with me... she doesn't like it, but she puts up with it.

Cheers,

Rob
