A Brisk Walk Around the Block

For those who’ve followed my blog for awhile already know, I have a love of  photo adventures. Sometimes, I’m lucky enough to go on photo explorations with fellow photographer friends. Sometimes, I self motivate and go alone. I’m not sure what causes the urge to go out and just shoot, but I try not to resist it. I feel that photographing for no clear purpose is a great way to raise your awareness of the world around you while honing your visual skills.

For those who’ve followed my blog also know, I can’t resist a good simple detail. While, I’m trying to break out of my minimalist shell, sometimes it just consumes me and I can’t see anything else. That was the case this morning. I choose to blame the clean white snow,  but, really, it’s just the way I see.

For those photographer friends reading this post, I must tell you about VSCO Film. Lately, I’ve become more and more of a photoshop minimalist and I’ve been looking for something to simplify my editing process while still providing something special to each image. Enter VSCO film, a RAW conversation (I use it with Adobe Bridge) that basically mimics the qualities seen in real film. It’s beautiful, simple, realistic and extremely easy to use.
