Things have changed.
Bob Dylan has a great song with that title.:thumbup:
But, have you noticed in recent times (ie-past couple of years) that we live in a time of extremes. Everything seems to be biased toward extremes. With so many people being so mobile, with little thought or care of our environment, it should come as no surprise that just when tourist attractions began shutting down, everything was shut down for a pandemic. Viruses do not spread without hosts. Extreme weather events do not occur frequently without causation. Global warming does not occur without bad behavior by humans. The list goes on, but it does seem that everything is coinciding at a point in time when we can act in our best interests, globally, or choose to continue our bad actions.
With that in mind, it appears that things have changed and for me, photography will change as well. Medium Format is my preference, but not to the exclusion of other formats and mediums. In other words, I have a lot of tools to use for my future endeavors. Long-distance travel is not likely to be part of our future. But there are so many other opportunities, from the "micro" to the "macro" (more on that at a later date), and creative applications of each.
What is YOUR plan for the next 12 months?
