Getting Started... Again

There was a time when I always had a camera in hand or within arms reach. I've shot with all sorts of film formats, have spent plenty of time in darkrooms, and bought my first digital SLR over 20 years ago.

One of the first pictures taken with my first DSLR the Canon EOS Digital Rebel in 2004. Also how I feel about the photography space in 2025.

Macro, products, portraits, landscapes, weddings, seniors, events, families, pets, sports, aerial and even a little fashion. I would shoot just about anything I could. I even had a studio with a sizable cyc-wall at one point.

And as it is with a lot of people, life has happened and photography has mostly become something I might do on occasion. Along the way I haven't lost my interest, or my desire to shoot. The energy, the passion, the motivation? Sure. Life will take it out of you.

So what does one do to get back in the shooting groove and reclaim some of the energy had to pursue what was once a passion.

Gravity.

That's right. Gravity.

Something that consistently draws things in.

It can't just be a project, a genre or a subject. There's no collection point. No constant intent.

Photography right now isn't a job, a significant source of income. And after seeing the ever decreasing quality of "professional photography" and the declining rates that can be charged, I don't think I want to go that path. At least not from a general, traditional photography perspective.

But that's another blow post for another time.

Welcome to what may become one of several gravitational points for more consistently finding photography again.
