Yesterday evening I officially got started on a personal project that I have been thinking about doing for awhile now. I got the opportunity to work with the very talented model/dancer, Mandy Faber. We took a few shots on the beach out East Ocean View here in Norfolk, Va. It stormed a little bit before we were suppose to shoot, but the weather cleared by the time we got out there. (Thank God!!!)
I decided to start this photo study on dancers because I found myself becoming too comfortable with what I was choosing to shoot. I have been limiting my experience lately to merely the people that closely surround me and has a creative its never good to limit yourself. Besides, my passion for photography stemmed from my curiosity about people and the human condition. I love life... photography is my way of connecting and staying in tune with it. With that being said, I encourage each and every person reading this to allow yourself to see something different today. Take time out to have a conversation with someone new, someone different than your normal group of friends. If you have a camera, I don't care if its a cell phone or the latest top of the line camera out there. Take the time to take at least one photo of something you normally wouldn't shoot. Make yourself uncomfortable.

Sam! couldn't have said it better myself! I was sitting at work the other day and thinking the exact same thing. Im too comfortable. I think we talked about my "getting out of the box" experience the other day when i showed you my latest work. Im curious though, is this the project you told me you would start? I gotta tell ya! I love the idea. Awesome start to a project. Kudos.
