When I travel, I’m always on assignment, not not for some prestigious magazine or publishing firm, but for myself! \u00a0Today working assignments are only a fraction of what they once were, the publishing industry as a whole, is much smaller and different than in the 70’s through the 90’s. Today getting and assignment is much more rare. \u00a0When I travel I give myself an assignment, for the purpose of keeping sharp, and continuing to work on the visual aspect of being a photographer. I’m not a beach person, but my wife sure is, and I love taking her to a place she can relax and rest, so I catch as catch can, on shooting. \u00a0 This morning, sitting on the balcony, I gave myself the assignment of finding, interesting shadows. \u00a0You can judge how I did!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Umbrellas and chairs shadows.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Thatch roof cabanas on the beach.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Couple walking on the beach with long shadow.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Well, that is my morning effort to catch some light and shadow! \u00a0They may not be Pulitzer winners, but they are keeping me in practice!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
