Silence in Photography

It occurred to me last night to do a series on silence - that is, silent spaces. Places where I experience the most stillness.

This year has not been a year of too many photos. I’ve spent more time focusing on other things, and had I used that time to pursue photography further, who knows what I would have achieved. I chose to focus my energy and major resources on other things in my life.

We choose the things we excel at - some people choose to write, or paint, or invent. Some focus their time on their family, friends, social life. We all have our priorities, and those priorities change during the course of our lives - at least for many of us.

There is something about photography that is more than just capturing images for me. Photography has managed to capture me instead. I still constantly think about taking photos in the streets, but I can safely say that the focus I had last year has not been present this year - especially in street photography.

I’ve also chosen to be more picky about what I shoot. I still walk with the GRIII many times and can safely confirm it is an excellent companion - a companion I plan on utilizing a few more times this year during the Christmas Season. Looking forward to easing my mind through some street photography through the busy streets of Georgetown in the coming days.
