Direction.
So I have been looking back through my archive of the last 5 or 6 years or so for the last few days almost a week. I have ammassed quite a collection of images and met countless folks.
Made some good friends and def lost a few as well both in circles I shoot. And from shooting and blowing folks off to run with the camera. But at the end of the day. The circle is still relatively the same.
It has me questioning the direction I may take. I mean there are a few things I will be at in 2026 no matter what. But it seems over time due to one particular situation from a few months back that has put a distance on me. My socials and actual conversations with sone folks say it all, gazers and watchers. But no real flow or interaction. Or leery short moments.
I will continue with the events I have shared with as far as charities and events and coverage unless otherwise told. Thru donating prints or attending. Ill keep covering swaps and roll in shows. But may switch some things up because I want to actually shoot some new stuff. The same bikes is always fun but when you get the same chop with its different air cleaner for 4 years in a row it gets old. And when it comes to shooting the crowd some have gotten sensitive. Lol
I will continue to Ai the stuff I shoot from time to time. If you dont like it your free to say so. Know person’s face has ever been out on anything except my own.
This is the point were I'd normally backspace most of the bs out of the post and keep it simple and fun but I dont feel like it today. Maybe later I will. Stuck at work when I should be in Philly getting ready for cigars and food. It sux but this is were I suffer so I can do all else.
Its funny when your young your hungry, rushing to build what you want for your future. When you get old your looking back at when you were young because you feel you lost something you had.
To stay on your game no matter what you do its truly a balance of both at the same time.
Enjoy your weekend folks. If ya go out use that cell phone if thats the only cam you have. Shoot. Print. Then BURN it. Lolol.
