What's your latest project?

What are you currently working on? Any active projects? Below is a sample of one of my current projects, for the "See and Share" photography group. A way of showing God's Glory, revealed through us... earthen vessels.

Why do a project?

As a form of continued education, projects drive us to try new techniques and to see things a little differently than we normally would. Things like lighting, textures, how to capture smoke! And what does flame look like on B&W film.

It also gives us time with our gear. To really learn the nuances of how our gear operates best. And like anything in life, repetition creates muscle memory.

When operating our cameras becomes second nature, creativity can thrive, unencumbered by technical issues.

So, find a project! Get out and shoot. Waste some film... Here are a few ideas:
- local murals
- child portraits (your own)
- take a road trip
- shoot a new film stock (IR, Slide film or maybe B&W for the first time)

And... keep learning. Who knows what will bloom!
