Sometimes you have to do simple

We were able to “dodge the COVID bullet” for two years until this past week. At first, I suspected I was getting a bit of a cold but soon tested positive for COVID. While I never really felt sick (I’m chalking it up to being current on COVID vaccines) I just didn’t feel like I had much energy, thus the blog went unwritten for a few days.

During that time I was isolated I received colored gels for use with studio lighting. Since I was feeling I had a bit more energy and was still “stuck” in my house I decided I’d experiment with the gels just to see if they were actually going to fit my need. It’s a nothing photograph of a vintage telephone that sits in my office. I used one of the purple gels to just see how much it changed the color of the light. Experiment success.

Over the years, I have learned it doesn’t always take something exotic or elaborate to get you inspired and moving again. Sometimes you just need to do something simple. Here’s to getting back on track again. And for those following my journey to retirement from working for others and my journey into the full-time art and photography world, I’m down to 57 days, which equates to something like 34 working days.
