3/31 July Challenge
Today I went to one of my favorite spots where I live. I go on hikes about 3 days a week so I knew this spot well and I have been eager to shoot there since discovering it. The forest is my sacred place where I feel happiest and most connected. It is my peaceful place. Especially being there early in the morning when no one else is around gives me chills and inspiration.
I had come up with this image idea for a client and the image didn’t quite look good enough to give, so I recycled the idea for today’s shoot. Harry Potter, anyone?! I really wanted to bring it to life and love to be a part of each piece of the creating process. It allows me to be more in tune with my surroundings and more aware of things I might otherwise miss.
Those peaceful moments, those early morning quiet and haunted times are the most inspirational to me. I am full of gratitude that I can experience them regularly, and I wish that you also find time to spend with your particular inspiration.

My most inspirational has to be hiking, and no one particular place, anywhere will do. That looks like a really great place to hike.
Two questions:
1, do you use a second camera for shooting the video during the shoot, or is it just the Sony?
2, What kind of hiking boots do you wear?
My inspiration places are any place I go and there is beautiful scenery. But there is one near and dear to me that I took some friends to this weekend. It has sandstone cliffs and is in central Wisconsin. I grew up near it and loved hiking there. Still do. I will be greatly saddened when I can no longer climb up and down the rocks, which I know isn’t too far away. Heck, I almost went over the cliff this time because I tripped on a branch. Too close for comfort. 🙂
