Default Re: What do you guys think about this?

Yes, I was always an outdoor landscape/Seascape/Skyscape kind of guy, along with having a passion for reportage and documentary photography. The idea of doing a wedding is my idea of hell, unless someone else was to do the big portraits and I would do the candids, and reportage/docu stuff. Not much chance of that happening though probably.

I'm at my happiest when I'm out in the middle of nowhere by myself, probably with a bit of mud and crap on my boots, or at an event where despite being surrounded by people, you can just disconnect so that the only things that exists in the world are yourself, your camera, and your subject. I LOVE the amazing buzz I get from doing that!
Or, documenting things, following people doing things, working at events, etc etc etc.

My railway photography tends these days to be more from the human aspect side of things.
I just love the whole concept of man interacting with machines.

This is hard for me now, because, I am not really wanting to do as much photography now, but I'm going through the difficult, or nigh on impossible task of dragging myself away from it.

I doubt I ever will properly now. I'm stuck with it for life.

I have a photographers brain and way of seeing things, and I see pictures all the time. It's both a blessing and a curse, and it's more of the latter. I just cannot switch off fully from it.

By the way, it's ok if you work in a lab, etc, but I was meaning the guys who just obsess about it all when it's simply just a hobby for them.

Anyway.

But when the daily remit is multiple short hops between tiny bumpy strips in a climate that flickers from the blustery to the apocalyptic, this sturdy little craft is hard to beat.'
