Shooting for shooting sake

It has been a fairly active past couple of weeks in terms of photo jobs. I had 3 major jobs in May alone, in fact had 3 photo sessions 3 days in a row (that was a killer!). However in the past year or so ive done very little personal projects. Ive been trying to figure out what aspect of photography I love the most, and hence what it is that I "should" be shooting. Somewhere along the line I stopped shooting what I "wanted" to, and instead been trying to figure out what I "should" be shooting. Instead I ended up not shooting altogether lol. So on Sunday I stopped thinking so much about what I should be shooting and just grabbed my camera and looked for something to shoot. There were some poinsettias at the front of my house that we've had for a months, and unfortunately did not survive the hot summer sun. I thought the dried leaves made for an interesting subject. To be honest im kinda tired/bored of shooting anything nature-related but I went ahead anyway, and ended up feeling good about it. The below is one from the set:

Mr and Mrs Blacke

The makers of "Last Call" presents their theatre production for 2012 called "Mr and Mrs Blacke". I was also afforded the opportunity of once again working with this team for their upcoming show. I must say that im very impressed with the way they are working to put this show together in terms of the preparations, the ideas, the marketing, everything. They are really going all out to come with something different in the theatre scene in Jamaica and they will be successful. In addition, being a part of this project has challenged me photographically just as it did last year for "Last Call" so im definitely grateful for the opportunity.

I will write about the shoots for this show in upcoming blogs, but for now you can visit their facebook page http://www.facebook.com/eightsevensix or their website www.eightsevensix.com.

To show how big they are going, see this photo of a billboard for the show on Old Hope Road:
