Sauvie Island round 2....

I had to go back after my previous camera mishap.  I like both sets of photographs for different reasons.  The day I went on my schlep with my sx70 it was warm and sunny.  On this particular day it was cloudy, and cold.  I have learned to appreciate cloudy, dreary days in Portland.  I love what it does to my photography and how I see things.  I also find myself processing my photos to convey the mood even further.  Often times I will take a picture and look at it and feel as if I am not finished because it does not convey how the moment felt at the time the original was taken.  Processing allows me to show you exactly how that second felt to me (sort of confusing right?)...

I am far from a purist in my photography, but I have to say that my photographs are purely what is in my head, how I feel, or simply how I see things...
