Reminder to self…

You started this daily creative challenge for yourself to kick start your creative side again. To create for creativity sake. It’s been a short run and your have learned a lot. You like snapshots of people out interacting with the world. You like capturing people in their element, interacting with each other. You don’t love portrait photography though. You have gotten some good shots over the years, but it likely won’t be a focus as you progress. You still hate group shots. Posing proper has never been your thing. You’re going to stop capturing the same five landscape and/or cityscape photos other people take. Not because they aren’t got photos, that’s not it. It’s because even when you capture them, even when done well, you don’t enjoy it. You may be proud of it, but not like your fry photo. That photo is yours. Take more fry photos.

So here is today’s “fry” photo. A single blade of grass that is red. Spotted on July 4th. Captured low with some of the sidewalk in the foreground to help add perspective.
