Every year at about this time, I stop taking photographs. It’s cold out, It gets dark quickly … blah, blah, blah. Kind of silly, though, because I own hundreds of dollars worth of flash equipment. I don’t even have to leave my house to take quality photos. So this year, I’ve signed up for a couple “side challenges” over at www.dpchallenge.com. I call them side challenges because they aren’t “officially” dpc sanctioned photo challenges, but rather, were created by other frequenters of that site. I won’t go into details of the challenges, because really … you don’t care But hopefully I’ll be able to produce some images this winter that I’m proud of … but only time will tell.
