Rainforest Photography - Canada
Although the camera allows me to earn a living, I still consider it a hobby as well. A few weeks ago Emily and I took a last minute trip to Vancouver Island. We hung out in Victoria for a few days, then drove up to the small surfing town of Tofino (more on that in the next post). All along the way there is so much to see, including rainforests. We took a couple casual strolls through them, camera in hand, without any expectations or plans to shoot. Now, I’d never classify myself as a “nature” or “landscape” photographer. I’m just a photographer. Meaning that making pictures pleases me. Pictures of anything. Doesn’t matter if the images will ever be seen, published, or licensed. The act alone is reward. Especially when it comes to subjects like the rainforest. No idea what will be done with these, but so what? One of the many things I’ve learned over the years, is you don’t have to know. Maybe they won’t go anywhere. Or maybe this is the start of something that won’t be realized for years to come. Either way, they were fun to make. It’s only natural being inspired to make images in places like this, as it feels more like being in a science fiction movie than it did real life.
