Religiously dedicating this next week to improving my photography. Today, I ventured throughout Grounds sand the Saunders-Monticello Trail. Although I initially wanted to capture moments of warmth and serenity, todays weather severely inhibited such plans. Therefore, I ignored my preemptive photographic strategy and let my eyes lead the way. By doing so, I was immediately drawn towards form, contrasts in light and darkness, and cityscapes. Relying upon chance and spontaneity allowed me to capture some wonderful moments. More importantly, however, today showed me that whether it be photography or life in general, one must not completely predetermine his or her outlook and perspective. Although we would all like to believe that we are captains of our own vessel, life is unpredictable. Control what you can control, yes. But do not overanalyze and believe that you can micromanage every extraneous aspect of your life. Instead, adapt. Be spontaneous. Take risks. Let life flow gently down its merry stream. Then maybe, just maybe, we will all be more content individuals. As always, thank you for the continued support, and God bless.
