A Plan Without A Plan
I am getting lots of positive feedback on the new direction of my blog (Chic at Phil's Place), and I thank you. Some of you are wondering where my stories come from, so here is the answer.
There IS no plan.
When I find a new spot that has -- let us call them Feeling Tones -- I wander a bit. I put together an outfit that seems to reflect the sense of place and how I feel about the environment. I explore; I decide on my Windlight settings; I shoot. At this point there is no theme, there is no story.
I often write the post card message first; sometimes even before shooting. That is, in part, my first impression. Once the photos are up in my Blogger editing window, I write the story. And many times it is a surprise -- even to me.
Sometimes I can see my feelings in the posts, sometimes not. They are obviously a part of me though, so I am learning more about myself as I explore and share with you.
That's how it works.
