Well just curious, I am sure many here do it strictly as a hobby as I had planned when I started out this second time in my photography life. I had done shows before but the Art Scene in Toronto was far more inclusive then the exclusive crap they try now.
Me getting a gallery the first one was just luck, pure luck. A girl who worked at the gallery I am with she read a scathing statement of the Toronto art scene I wrote, I get and email and an invite to show my work, before I left I was signed. The second art gallery is just based on my reputation and work.
I do a lot of night shots, low light, natural light photos for the most part. I have experimented with my new lights and so far so good. As with going with film when I have space in the next two weeks I can get my photo/negative scanner and will be shooting 35 mm and Medium format, like a kid in a candy store not shot medium format in a while because I was shooting so much 35 mm I just sort of ignored it but not this time.
I just wanted to be continually challenged as a photographer, I expect nothing but the best I can produce and at times that ain't so good .. lol. I experiment a lot, I recall what setting I can get a look I want, I thought I had forgot everything in 4 weeks after what felt like a horrible absence, but I was surprised it was sort of like riding a bicycle sort of. I even do macro shots that I hate just so I have the skill, never know when you need and technique. I also shoot less than 50 pictures now in a 12 hour ride. So its not how many I take it is what I take printable. And I have some strange shooting habits would not be the one to teach thats a for sure.
So why photography?
