| Watching IX Sheringham, Norfolk Taken with a Lensbaby Composer with single glass lens on a 5D2. |
Having just spent a week away with the family allowing 7 days in a row of image making I have to say that I still enjoy my photography, despite having moved genres and moved through several styles. I take pictures first and foremost for myself, and my pictures give me pleasure. In the past I wanted my pictures to be appreciated by others and generate income. I used to sell bird and nature photos all over the world, then I changed to insect photography and still achieved a reasonable amount of sales.
Since then I evolved into landscape photography and got up at ungodly hours to try to create Cornish pastiches. The sales continued and yet I was unhappy. Finally I moved through intentional camera movement and tilt and shift to the expressive artistic photography that I now enjoy.
I do not take pictures I think others might prefer to see.
Your photographs are unlikely to please everybody, so why try when you have to please your hardest critic - yourself.

In the next week or so I will be uploading a set of the latest shots taken with a digital SLR using various lenses, but mostly Lensbabies or Diana lenses. I know some will love them, but most will be indifferent or hate them, but most importantly they stir the correct emotions in me!
So how do you like yours?
