Nothing like a county fair to get you feeling nostalgic for childhood. I have to credit my i-phone for getting me out and photographing for fun again. After 18 years working as a professional and always having to make clients happy, it had become pretty rare that I would pull out my camera to shoot when I wasn’t “working”.  Then about three years ago when I purchased an i-phone and realized that it had a pretty amazing camera in it I found myself pulling it out to shoot with on the occasions when I didn’t have my “big” camera.  I ended up shooting a little of “this and that” anywhere I went and was slowly becoming re-inspired as a photographer.  These images, all shot on my i-phone were the result of that summer. Since then, I have completely embraced photography again as a creative expression for myself and am enjoying shooting all sorts of cameras. My latest adventure is with a beautiful little 4×5 field camera!! —Yes- a large format FILM camera….Images from that sweet little thing will be coming soon! 🙂
