What’s up with the blog and toe tappin’ tunes
When I started this blog last year I was fully intent on using it for the sole purpose of promoting my wedding photography. But, like with everything in life, it is evolving. To be truthful, I have no idea where this blog is going, I do know it will still include my wedding related work and it’s main focus will still be to give you a look into the life responsible for producing the images you see on this blog, but I just think it won’t be keeping the strict guide lines of only featuring wedding related material. I’ve never done well with guide lines anyways, I have always had a hard time keeping the colour inside the lines, I seem to want to go off in another direction.
One of those directions I do want to go off on is inspiration, it’s a big subject in the world of photography right now. I think with the countless website talking about and showing you the technical aspect of taking pictures, the more advance photographer is looking for more. They know about lighting, composition, exposure, shutter and aperture settings. They know how to take a picture, but now they are running into the problem of what pictures to take.
I’m the furthest you can get from being an authority on the subject of photography or inspiration, that is why I am not planning on pretending to be one, but I can talk about my own personal skirmishes in the battle for inspiration. And today I think I’ll be starting with one of the bigger influences in my road to inspiration…Music.
I have heard many creatives say that they use music as inspiration, there is just something about the right music playing in your ears that gets the creative juices flowing. As it turns out some of my favorite photographers are real music junkies, taking every chance they can get to have music playing. I for one know that having the right tunes playing while I’m editing or planning a shoot can really help.
With all that in mind I have decided to start featuring music that hits home with me. When i hear a song that gets my neurons jumpin’ I’ll share it here on the blog. Hopefully I’ll be able to give you a better look into the workings of my creativity and maybe even introduce you to some new favorites.
So lets get start, today’s song “Some one turning” is by the Canadian band Arctic. You can check them out at http://www.projectarctic.com/ and follow them on Twitter. Hope you enjoy!
