I've been in a rut lately, which accounts for the gap in my postings. When I take pictures I'm looking for the one shot that is like a kick in the gut. Good pictures have that effect on me. If I'm not challenged, I don't feel like I contributed anything to the quality of the picture. The work I've done lately has been somewhat mundane, and as a result, lacking that "kick in the gut" feeling. So yesterday I took a ride to Kristen's in Deep River. I wanted to do some pictures of her milk bottles and some of the other interesting design elements in her restaurant. I always feel better after a visit to Kristen's, and this time was no different. Afterwards I visited Tia Smith at her gallery in Essex. Tia has a wonderful sense of style and her pictures are direct and without pretense. I received a few pointers and managed to get some pictures on the waterfront before leaving. Dinner was spent with a few of my favorite models, accompanied by wine and a lot of laughter. While none of the pictures I captured on my journey were especially challenging, I enjoyed taking them and can appreciate them for what they are; records of a day well spent.
