Vortex

[Barefoot]

It was planned for weeks in advance that a friend and I would travel to the Down East region of North Carolina for a weekend of shooting in the area that I lived in for over twelve years but that she had never been to. As luck would have it, the remnants of tropical storm Ida and a Nor’Easter were pushing up the coast and had left the area inundated with water from both heavy rains and what the winds had pushed in from the Pamlico Sound. Many roads were impassable and the rivers and creeks were so high that I couldn’t show her most of the places I longed for her to see.

All that aside, we enjoyed one another’s company and ate well. We both managed to shoot several hundred frames, but mine were all pretty much worthless. I find it more than just a little bit ironic that the only image I got the entire weekend that I cared anything at all for does a fine job of illustrating how, photographically speaking, the entire trip went down the drain for me. I hope Mare did better.

I quite like this BF....the representation of your weekend...it also looks like the hurricane that screwed things up for you too!

It's hard to believe that someone like you who shoots so well could take several hundred shots that "were all pretty much worthless."

This is a nice simplistic shot that fits with your story so well though.

I really like the simplicity here - very nice!

Obviously I haven't seen the rest of the pictures, but this is a really nice one! I really like the simplicity of it (has that been said already?). Sometimes when you go out to shoot nice pictures everything you touch turns to sh*t. It happens, that's life. Everyone can lose their mojo once in a while. You've got at least one picture you care for, and it's a really nice one as well. But still, I hope next time will be better for you. I'm sure it will...

You know what shots I like the best! I love it!
