Voyages of Photography

One Sunday morning in August 2014, I was looking at maps and Google satellite images of the general area where I live. I was looking for a new, interesting place to photograph. Earlier that year, I had started the discipline of taking photographs every day. Which is great and all, but sometimes a new location can re-inspire. IÍd already found several new places using the satellite images posted on Google and had taken some good photos there. The images showed me Central Park in Schenectady where IÍd had a lot of fun as a child centuries before. Then I noticed the words ñRose Garden.î I shot close to 600 photos in the Rose Garden, then went home, uploaded them and started to see what I got. What I got turned out to be an epiphany for me. It changed the way I approach photography. It changed the way I see through the viewfinder and it gave me an appreciation for roses and other flowers.
