For a number of years I have published Calendars featuring my photographs. While they haven’t been big sellers, they have given me a little extra spending money at the end of the year.
For several of those years the photograph for that month’s page was taken the year prior. This photo of the C&D (Chesapeake-Delaware) Canal was taken in May of 2018 and appeared in the 2019 Calendar. As you can see, the water level is low, and it was the first time I realized that even canals have High and Low Tides.
Since March 17th, I have been publishing a “Photo a Day” on my Facebook page ShoreToBeFun Photographs and Instagram – SGAtkinson_Photographer as my way to help brighten my visitors world. It’s not always the same photo. I hadn’t realized it, but it has become a Photographic Journey of places I’ve been and seen on MD Eastern Shore and Delaware. I would love to say the Delmarva Peninsula, but so far I haven’t gone onto the Virgina’s Eastern Shore. I plan to change that as soon as I can.
Do you consider a photographer as an Artist. I do. But not every one that takes photographs is an Artist. And there many times that I don’t believe my photos are Art. Often just a documentation since as a photojournalist, photographing events, I often just photograph what’s going on around me. But even at these events sometimes I do find something to photograph that I think of as Art.
As an Artist I have a Patreon Page. Patreon is a place where artists post exclusive content for their followers. It would be great if you would follow me there at Patreon.com/DelmarvaScenes.
