Q and I are having a great time being back in Florida seeing old friends, and of course taking pictures. One of the reasons I love doing sessions here is that there are new locations to find, and my family and good friends know that I love location hunting. But sometimes you just may not feel like hopping in your car or getting on the Max to find a new spot. Sometimes the best spots are right in front of you. Sometimes the greatest challenge is not in finding that great grove or beautiful field, but in finding what's right at your fingertips. Sometimes the best locations are at your front door, or down the street. I know I could think of a few dozen great spots along our daily dog walk just in my neighborhood, and I bet you could find some too, within a few blocks of your house. So, put on your "location goggles" as I call them, and the next time you're out taking a stroll, look around you and start framing the pictures in your mind. Look for textures, walls, stairs, lines, splashes of color, garage doors...you get the idea. Q and I have been talking about taking pictures down our street for months. Every day we walk past not one, not two, but half a dozen cool old trucks within 3 blocks of our house. So finally, on a beautiful Sunday evening last week, we went and took our truck walk. I was ready to be done after the first two or three spots, but Q wanted to keep on going, and stop at every neighbor's front steps on the way home! So here are some shots from our street, hope you enjoy them. And a challenge to all of you budding photographers out there, take a walk on your street and see what you can find!
