12 Months/12 Topics Project 2021
Read MoreMONTH 1: WEEK 1: Topic: Everything Goes: "Palms of Florida"
Have been debating whether to start up another 12/12 Project this year. It will be a big challenge because the pandemic is at an all time high in infection rates and there is another strain of it which is in the US that is even much more contagious. We came down to Florida because we had to back out on seeing our family up in CT per the opinions of all the science experts. We are in an age group especially vulnerable to getting the virus. So we drove down in our car with our own food and one night on the road in a hotel known to be very safe. The nature parks and cities where I have enjoyed photographing here for years are crowded, and in the downtowns and cities not every one is wearing masks, I am told. So we continue to be especially careful for now and hope to get vaccinated down here in Jan./Feb.This image is a view of part of our club house. My Sony a6000 converted to Infrared. Sigma 1.4 30mm lens. One of the reasons I decided to do another12/12 project is that it is a documentation of these years that we are going through. I think I will eventually make photo books for each year, not to sell but as a record that members of our family might find interesting as time goes by.....I will have limited photo-ops. Let's see how I do.........It won't be easy. But the hardest part is being away from our families.
