Day 4: November 21, 2016

I have a busy day ahead with multiple video editing jobs so I thought I better shoot something this morning as I'll be staring at two big monitors most of the day.  I walked out into my back yard today with a junk mail envelope with some scribbling on the back side.  There are three quotes written on it, all from my cousin Deirdre Murphy, who is a legit artist, rather than my feeble attempts that take fractions of a second to produce.  Deirdre is a painter and does amazing work.  Here is the quote I chose to arm myself with as I passed through the sliding door to the wild and great unknown of our back yard:

"The moment we stop growing as painters, it's kind of over.  The exploration is done."
                            -    Deirdre Murphy

handles of the meat grabbers on our grill in the back yard :)

I really like that statement.  Two years ago this Spring, I heard a great photographer say literally the same thing:  "I keep hearing that photojournalism is dead.  It's not dead until we stop making pictures."

And so I forge ahead with my little camera, making pictures...  #sonyalpha  #RX100V
