Lately I've been looking at how much there is a growing demand for images that move. You know, videos, animations, GIFs and that sort of thing.

Over the past couple of years I've taken a growing interest in the making of cinemagraphs and stop-motion animations. I've dabbled here and there. Tested different techniques and in that I've found that I like the experience.

Should I offer these things to prospective clients ? Well, maybe.
Meanwhile, I'll keep experimenting and learning how still images can be converted into moving images. Images that grab attention while telling a story.

​I'll keep you posted.

Environmental portraits, or at least, portraits done in the location where the subject lives and or works, gives me a sense of creation and respect.
I enjoy making these portraits of people who are involved in an endeavour that gives them joy, and perhaps provides an income from which they rely on.
I've done a bunch of them a few years back. Driving all over Ontario, visiting people in their studios or homes.
Yes, it involved time and effort. I suppose that is part of the allure of it for me. I enjoy doing projects that take effort and that are rather unique.

I don't know of any other photographer who went around the Province photographing the same group of individuals that I did. If there was such a photographer, I don't know who it might have been.
I didn't do those projects for monetary gain. On the contrary, I did them for emotional gain.
I did them to satisfy a personal desire to make something that recognizes them for what they have achieved. In the meantime, I suppose I also did it for me.  Having the ability to say, "I did that" gives me a sense of satisfaction. If I can't do something now and then that gives me that knowledge, I would surely go mad.
I wonder what the next project will involve.
