JSP Visual Week In Review ~ 01.07.23
OK, we all good?
We made it through that first week of the new year without too much trouble?
Happy to say I’ve had a quite a productive week, though it wasn’t without it’s downs to even out the ups.
I went to a gig in Asbury Park on Thursday evening (It was to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the release of Springsteen’s Greetings From Asbury Park album, more to watch friends perform their covers of songs from the album than to “shoot the who>
But, of course, I took my Canon 5DMIV…and had all kinds of focus issues with the lens.
Good thing it wasn’t a paid shoot, or anyone was expecting photos!
(I did also have my Fuji XT3 with me, so got some snaps.)
Hey, that’s what happens. Can’t plan on this sometimes, just gotta role with it, right?
You can only change what you can, right? Can’t sweat it if you can’t.
No use to it.
Otherwise, it was a good week. One morning it was so foggy on my walk, I couldn’t stop taking photos.
That upper middle square was just one of many. But it was such a beautiful morning, it felt good to be out in it.
There’s the lesson….get out into it!

“Consistency is a super power!” ~ Can’t remember where I heard that this week but that’s the thing – put the work in, every day. Even if it’s a small thing. Do 10 push ups. Every day. Walk a mile. Every day. Take 10 photos Every day. Read. Every day. Every day starts to add in a big way.
