Drumroll please…. that’s it – the last photos posted from 2015! That is, until I go back and find all the ones I missed because I was sick of looking at them, which would never happen. It’s nice to have that ticked off the list. I took a lot less photos in 2015 – the figure is only just over a quarter of the amount in 2014. I don’t know if that is good or bad, and/or if it was a quality vs quantity thing?! I’d like to hope I’m getting better and that my eye is still developing, but I guess I’ll never really know.

Is it weird that I find looking at my own photographs calming? They’re a little picture of my day – the fun things I’ve found, the places I’ve been and the stories in my head that surround them. I remember how I found them, how many times I’ve been back, what the weather was like, where I stood… how I looked and saw what was in front of me. Seems like a lot to take from one photo (and there are so many of them!!), but I can tell you about the majority of them! I figure the ones I’ve forgotten (which are few and far between… I keep wondering how long I’ll remember for) clearly aren’t as important as the others.

Turns out I had some photos I had taken and forgotten about… gone are the days of rushing to my computer as soon as I get home to copy off my new images!

I still don’t know why I take photos other than it is a creative outlet for me, and that it gets to the point that I just ‘need’ to. And I ‘need’ to share the amazing places I have found with other people so that they can enjoy them as well. Sometimes it feels like the second part is harder than the first!
