Just had to add one more from that shoot.

Been a little busy here and I had another idea all ready to post but decided to save it for after the holidays when it may make a little more sense.  So here is a little bit of what all I have been putting in front of the lens.

So that is a little bit of what has been going on around here. Hope you all have a great holiday and as they say more to come soon. For an ongoing update visit the flickr stream now and then at www.flickr.com/rlketcham

Not a lot I feel like adding in words today but I did want to post a little more of the On Black series I am working on.

I was going to write something about digging out of something but seem to have misplaced the thought. What is forefront in my head for several days has been the whole social networking idea and experience.  For a fairly short time I have jumped into this whole flickr, blogging, twitter, facebook social media thing, and it has been enlightening in a lot of ways.

Living in the boonies, it is a little difficult to meet other photographers that have the same interests and ambitions. The people I have interacted with online in the social media world have really opened my eyes, taught me a lot and become friends. Bouncing ideas around among creative people is the fastest way I know of to elevate your own vision. There is an energy that is created that I envy when I hear about the folks I follow are in the same place at the same time. Second best is the one that happens when you share those ideas online with others. Not really sure what all I wanted to say here except, thanks  to all my friends online for the extra incentive and free flow of ideas and info.

As for digging out, there is a notebook full of ideas that need to be photographed that should take me into the next few years, and it is added to daily.  In addition to the photo ideas I am going to add a writing class to my list of things to do this winter, skills that I haven’t used since college have rusted badly. In fact a lot of things have rusted badly………

more later

Edit: the “how I made this image” is in the comments…….
