When I bought my K1000 back in 1990 I thought it would be landscape/wildlifle/nature. I was surprised to find myself interested in architecture. Not so surprised at people on the street, but it wasn't where I thought I was headed. At the moment my work brings me into contact with kids doing sports, e.g., refugee kids playing baseball for the first time in their lives. And the Olmsted Linear Parks that I mentioned in a recent post are bugging me. I'd like to learn how to photograph them. This weekend I'm headed up to North Georgia for a ForestWatch retreat. Recent surgery will keep me from getting out in the woods, so I imagine it will be mostly people there. [Faces interest me, especially interesting faces. [And who wouldn't be interested in interesting faces??]] But driving back Saturday evening I might get the opportunity to get in a few landscape shots. Probably not the best thing to attempt with a 28 or 50 mm lens, but following Stan's advice, that's what I'll be taking. Bottom line? I guess I don't really have a "genre" yet. Any of the above are starting places. But I'm open.
