I attended a virtual workshop hosted by Photographer @ibarionex in December 2020, it was excellent. Takeaways from the workshop: always be proactive, always be ready to photograph an engaging moment and carry your camera everywhere. Participants were challenged to take 36 photos. All shots taken with @fujifilmx_us X-T3 with the XF 16-55mm f/2.8 lens. The workshop brought back a lot of memories about the #Project365 that I did several years ago. The challenge to take 36 photos as if I had one single roll of film was just what I needed at that moment. It had been months since I had used my camera. COVID has caused me to cease my portrait photography work due to the desire to want to stay safe and protect my family from unnecessary exposure to risk. I jumped at the opportunity to use my camera that has been sitting in my camera bag for months due to my desire to exercise extreme caution since the outbreak of COVID. It felt like I was coming home when I was out on the streets of Memphis, TN looking for an interesting image. It was great to get out and shoot some night street photography, but it was even greater to be on the hunt for an interesting photograph, to be using my camera again made me remember why I love photography and how therapeutic photography can be for me.
