Amateur Photographer

As an amateur photographer I find that it is difficult to emerge into the lime light of those who are professional. Basically, I'm finding it very hard to become a professional photographer. Mostly because I do not have the money it takes but also, I am my worst critic! However at the same time, I'm not giving much effort into photography as I should, I take photos simply because I love it. Documenting a moment in time that my mind won't likely remember, a term I learned recently is referred to as "documentia". A condition in which a person will place a camera between themselves and a specific moment they consider "special" or "important". They will catch every moment on camera, whether in a photo or on video. They don't really get to have the full emotional experience of the moment but they've captured it.
Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, is open to discussion but I for one am proud to say that I have "documentia". I will click click click away and as often as I possibly can, I will continue to share with people parts of my memory.

So here I am attempting my first blog spot dedicated entirely to my photography.
As I said above, sharing moments and sharing parts of my memory, where I've been and what I've done and with whom.
Below are 2 photos I took while out hiking in Northern Saskatchewan.

Photo 1: Nut Point Hiking trail - Fall season and getting close to sunset. I was just closing up my day with the shot.

Photo 2:  Taken on the "Molenosa" Road as locals call it. I peered into the bush and decided that I had seen the perfect shot, so I husted butt and grabbed my camera and this is the result.


That being said, I hope you enjoy what you see. I sure enjoyed giving my time to photography.
I will add more photos in time.
