Here is some new photos that will be added to the till life portraits. I do plan on growing the still life portraits in this style with diffrent subjects, I will keep finding interesting leaves though and what else will be added to the series.
Zoom In
This is just something I came up with and picked a few photos to do it with for fun no real reason behind it, being creative. This also shows that I save the high res images of everything I do now and have learned my lesson from starting out in photography. you learn along the way. There are only 10 of them. If you would like to see more or you like the idea for a new series let me know. I do creative things with photoshop once in a blue moon but its rare.

Hiking
I have recently been hiking as you can tell. Here is some back story on why. So we used to live in town where it was flat, easy to bike around and hang with friends, then we moved to a hill in the country so biking went away. Also after High school I slowed down physical actives ( gym class hero) I never did any school sports, only baseball little league for a year in 5th grade and when I was younger soccer, I did baseball camp for a few years. I was also the frisbee kid from playing catch to disc golf. I still play disc golf sometimes. I had this book of parks in Columbia county that my dad got me and started using it for my hikes, all these places I never knew about. Hiking has also thought me things such has be prepared before you leave, water, hiking stick, phone, charger and tell people where your going. If you are lost keep going because a road/trail will end up some where, Or go in the direction of where you came from. Having someone to go with you is a good thing because you will not be alone if you are lost or if some thing happens. Luckily I have not seen any bears yet " knock on wood".
I was just thinking another good thing about going hiking or exploring a new environment is that it makes you feel good and can help get your mind off things and see things you would not expect.
Volunteer
Recently I have volunteered my time at the Kinderhook Library for there Kinderhook walks. The walks are a guided tour to historical sites in the town of Kinderhook. My job is holding the gimbal with the phone and mic which is being lived streamed on the Facebook page. Its fun for me because I get to learn about how to use a gimbal and more about live streaming video. The reason its live streamed is because for the people who can't walk with the tour and the people who are no longer in the area but are still interested in learning about the area. Its interesting learning about history in a small town that is close by. There will be more hopefully.
I do like helping out the community and getting to know people. Not everything has to do with being paid sometimes its good to network and or trade skills. Also its good to give back to people.
