a photo study: simplification and negative space

Someone once shared with me her personal goal of reading one book of child psychology for a week over the course of a year.  She then asked, “Would that result in me becoming an expert?”

Off and on over the years, I have found myself pondering this exchange.  About three weeks ago, while watching a Ted Forbes YouTube video I wondered, “how would my photography change if I was to “focus” on a particular element of photography each week for a year while also including various past lessons into my images throughout that week?

Well…I’m into my third week of this journey,  The first week was exploring focusing techniques; the second, rule of odds; and this week, simplification and negative space.

At this time, it is my intention to review my journey and share a photo video each Saturday.  If you wish to join me, I would enjoy hearing and seeing your photo journey.
