Bergenia and finding my photographer's voice

May 23, 2009

My bergenia is gone by now but a couple weeks ago it looked like this. The days before I took these photos I was asking myself philosophical questions like "what is my photographic vision" and "what makes me tick as a photographer". It was bothering me that I didn't have a definitive answer. Taking these photos (& many more that day!) helped me in part to answer those questions.

I'm currently thinking and writing about what it is I'm doing with a camera in my hands. What do I see that I'm inspired to share? Do I have style that is uniquely my own? What's my purpose as a photographer? What are my goals for this hobby/passion of mine? Through reading, praying and writing I'm finding some answers and I look forward to sharing them someday. Till then I think these photos give a clue, to me at least, about my photographic style.
