I spend a lot of time following other photographers. I watch what they are doing and after looking at their work, I often get kind of uninspired because I don’t go to exotic locations and I don’t have their subject matter at my disposal all the time. Southeastern Ontario doesn’t have crashing surf, or mountains, or desert landscapes. Sometimes when you look at others’ work, it’s easy to say “I can’t do that, I don’t have access to those places”. While it is true we don’t have the same subject matter, we do have our own beauty right here in Southeastern Ontario, you just have to learn to spot it. Sometimes the picture is right at your feet.
