Busy work has been taking my time the last couple of weeks sorry for the lack of posting here. Finishing up on some assignment work so thought I would  post a few images of something different that has kept me busy as of late. These are from last weekends trip to Lansing which included a car show and then back to the bigger capitol city car show Saturday evening. It has been fun traveling around to a few events and attractions enjoying all the excitement that nice springtime weather brings. A month ago there was nothing happening in the event category now like the birds of spring they are everywhere. I have learned something mostly about myself the last few weeks, as much passion as I have for photography not all photo ops are the same. There is a reason I gravitate to the wide open spaces, onto the hills and into the prairies getting lost on the back roads with time becoming only a concern for a possible sunset photo opportunity. Many other venues of photo work are just that, work. It can be enjoyable and fun to go to social gatherings and mingle amongst hundreds or thousands of humans but when it comes to freeing ones mind, relaxation and finding inspiration in the finer things of life I will take nature over social gatherings no questions asked. Comparing one to the other is like being on two different planets. Not to worry (as if anyone would) nature is calling me fast and furious into her grips and much time will be spent as always getting lost in the wilderness that is the great outdoors.
