After going through some of the more recent photographs I’ve made, I realized that I have been shooting from inside the car a whole bunch. Normally I’m not a fan of car shooting. The dirty windows. The unexpected bumps. But apparently I have strayed from that belief, at least momentarily.
I am no stranger to the clamorous crows that frequent Harrisburg in the winter months of the year, but I have never seen this many crows, this close, ever. Hell, I have never seen this many birds together at once, period. I don’t even want to venture with a number, but they were plentiful. If you’re on a desktop, be sure to click on each image to get a better look at their numbers.
Last Sunday I had the pleasure of linking up with Chris Kuhn, a film photographer based in the Harrisburg area. We originally linked via Instagram. Say what you want about social media and it’s misuse, but I have connected with more like minds on there in the last 6 months than I have in my previous 35 years on this planet.
I finally got a chance to go out and shoot for the first time in close to a month. And when I don’t shoot, I can feel the adverse results of through my entire being. When I shoot I sift through the muck and sludge of reality to find the intrinsic beauty therein. This perspective shift then bleeds into all areas of my life.
It wasn’t supposed to rain until late afternoon, but that didn’t stop morning rain. Krik & I headed out to film some videos like we always do. A couple lefts, a couple rights, and a couple minutes later we were jingling down the backside of the mountain on a rocky forest road.
