It was great to be out in the woods again. Two days in a row got some camera time in. Something just clicked when I was out there shooting. It has been quite some time since I was out and everything was just in sync. Now, the challenge is that with the great vibes also comes a false sense of success while shooting.

Kill your babies; that is the editing mantra. If it doesn't hold up to the abstract bar of "good" then don't bother putting it out there. But, today I am not so precious. I like the kid in the photo. I haven't captured him as I want to, but this is a step closer. I could have cropped it so it wouldn't awkwardly cut off his arms, but I am so far behind posting I am not going to bother. In the future I may re-crop it.

As I walked to toward the bouldering area I was wondering if I still had the interest in shooting boulderers. I have a tendency to get bored with things after a while. Shooting the same place over and over again pretty much goes against the popular concept of action photography - going to the new and exciting.

But, as a photographic process it is a matter of working the angles and the subject over and over. Learning what can be done. By limiting the number of new variables I push myself. If the photos are boring it is because I am boring. Not because of a lack of familiarity with the locale.

So, year 2 or 3 of this project. Onward and upward.
