60 Days…part 1.

Part 1 of my 60 days of landscape photography…

In 2021 a UK photographer I follow counted up the number of days he was able to devote to landscape photography in the previous calendar year. That number ended up totaling 60 days. Doesn’t seem like a lot so I set a goal for 2022 to devote 60 days to landscape photography.

I missed the goal of 60 by a wide mark and only managed to shoot 40 days. Granted, I have a family, a busy headshot photography company, a product photography company, and trying to get a family portrait studio company going…and when it’s over 100 degrees for 30 days in the summer, the last thing I want to do is go out in the heat carrying my gear.

Laziness and excuses? Yeah, a little, but 40 days spent photographing a variety of landscapes was more than the previous year, and the year before that. So although I missed the goal of 60, I’m happy with the 40.

So here are 20 images from the first 20 outings. A few of these haven’t been published on my Facebook or Instagram accounts and not all are portfolio worthy images, in fact some of these are shit, but a shit photograph is better than nothing, right?

Part 2 to follow. Enjoy. (The last image of this series is of my cat Missy who left us in 2022 at the age of 18).
