Lately
[In Between, America]
Lately, I’ve switched gears. I’ve spent the last month and a half hopping between Colorado, North Carolina, and most recently, the coast of Michigan. (ordinarily I wouldn’t refer to fresh water as “coastal” but have you seen the size of the lakes up there? They are enormous. Plus, they have sand dunes and gulls… semi-coastal. )
This blog started in December of 2010 as The Consequence of Wander Lust. It was a simple forum to update friends and family on my travels. After sometime it became a photo-blog in a purer sense… somewhere to post images of recent gigs, adventures, and some musings. The idea was to update it consistently and keep you delighted and engaged with compelling images and stories. But as of late I’ve spent much more time on the road and less time writing—but not a minute less shooting. Just instead of lugging a heavy D-SLR to formal shoots, I’ve regressed to taking a zillion snapshots on my phone (convenient. discrete.) This has been a welcome rest; a time to return to my first love: artful observation and memory.
In the next few entries I’ll share small collections of these images… one on texture… Americana… heck, I may even add a little reflection on my time assisting for the National Geographic essay on the Outer Banks, North Carolina. It’s out this month, did you get your copy?? For now I’d like to leave you with a few images from the road.
xo,
Lauren
