I think I have a style but I also know that in a year or two from now, that too will have evolved.

I used to wonder what my "...Great post, Kelly! I used to wonder what my "style" was but over the years and by looking back at what I'm shooting and what I like, I have found that I love color, crisp focus, bokeh and shooting close up. I used to think I should try to branch out a bit but these things make me happy right now so why not shoot them? terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-90183111977734997542016-09-20T10:03:14.367-07:002016-09-20T10:03:14.367-07:00This is a really good way to think about it.

You've laid out questions that I would never have thought about but are actually quite helpful, so thank you.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00082536183912603694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-53443314561909968032016-09-20T07:26:03.028-07:002016-09-20T07:26:03.028-07:00A great post and it gives us all something to thin...A great post and it gives us all something to think about. I think it's important to take time, every now and then, to dig a little deeper into our photography, analyze - but not too much - what we do, why we do it, keep what works, discard what doesn't.

IN a style workshop I went to they had ipus print a minimum of 59 4x6 prints. We then had to scatter them on the floor -same idea - just look at the colors, shapes, orientation and then the themes. I feel like what you did on Pinterest is the same thing!
