Just the other day, I went & got my pics developed (as has always been the case with me, one-hour) & they turned out quite nicely. The centerpieces of all the pics that got developed were the ones which I took a few weekends back at Sidney, Ohio, home of one of the more enduring landmarks in railway bridge history, the Big Four Bridge. Turns out I took some awesome pics after all. But of course, I'm itching to return there sometime soon if I can help it...too cool of a travel destination to pass up!!
Of all the things I enjoy doing for fun or for random kicks is take photos left & right. The best ones I've ever taken were done spontaneously; I never had to sweat it out in order to capture my subject matter perfectly: the open road, railroad tracks, landscapes, rivers, forests, bridges. For me, the sweetest moments worth cherishing & sharing with others when it comes down to taking pics are the ones that were done on the fly - only one try to nail & do they look awesome!! For the record, my past experience taking photos with that mindset has served me well & quite often (though there have been those instances where I got flasher happy & wanted to approach stuff from new angles, & there have been plenty of 'em, FYI).
As I just said, I may be anticipating making another random trip over to Sidney, OH in the future among other places to continue my photographic adventure like none other. Until the next time on the road, I'm content with my recent snapshots from the Buckeye State. And the best is yet to come.
