Clondon52w26: Reevaluating Goals
From the C.London website: “We’re halfway through! Congrats on making it this far! How are you going on your initial goal from week one? Often times challenges like this one will lead you off your initial track and make you reevaluate what your goal is. On the other hand, you may have become even more dedicated to your original goal. Both are okay!
The image this week should be a revisit of that original goal. If you want to do a full-on remake of the original, that’s great! If you’d prefer to start over with a whole new vision, also great!”
My original 2021 photography goal was to become a better visual storyteller. At the time, I was not fully sure what that meant. Through working on the challenges, along with extra mentoring/coaching from
Chelsea London, I’ve become more mindful of some elements in making photographs that are helping towards achieving that goal. Shooting with intent and having a more consistent visual style are two elements that I’m focusing on most (pun intended). Sometimes it works and sometimes not, but I am energized to keep at it.
This week's submission contains multiple images (in the spirit of a visual story) from a place I’ve never been before. Admittedly, these photos were shot 3 days before the challenge week started, but they were shot with intent. If required to select only one photo, "Shelter" would be the "hero" shot.
Reconstruction of the pier prevented walking out on it, however more activity was taking place below.
