Thematic Photographic 278 - Greyish

Into the woods
London, ON
January 2014

I haven't been shooting as much lately as I'd like to be. Between the everyday stuff that fills the day and often cantankerous weather that forces the camera to stay put, my output is way down. Not that it's a volume game, mind you - I'd rather take a few memorable photos than a ton of lousy ones - but when I'm not even laying down anything on the memory card, something's got to give.

So when the post-Polar Vortex weather turned into an above-zero fogfest couple of weeks ago, I grabbed my camera and went for a walk. I didn't have to go far before that old familiar feeling crept back into my head. The one where themes almost seem to materialize on their own, and you feel as if you're simply along for the ride.

I realized how much I missed the process, and decided it made no sense for the weather to clear before scheduling another shoot. As the mercury heads back into polar territory, I think another walkabout - a quicker one this time - may be called for. No more lulls, because my camera needs a workout. So does my head.
