Photography isn’t something you vacation from - its more about getting closer to it, when you make space for it. That said, taking a couple weeks to focus on a creative road-trip has been a wonderful opportunity to unclutter the mind and resharpen the eye. It’s also been a quiet time to brainstorm new ideas and refocus old ones.

For the most part, I kept the camera pointed at the openness and quiet of nature, and sometimes the composition of urban architecture. And yes, at times, I also captured Jennifer with her ever-present camera. Something Jennifer has helped me better understand is that by putting ourselves in unfamiliar surroundings, we can enhance our beginner's mind, which helps to keep our creative eye observant.

It was humbling to explore the textures of rock and water, and how they collide. It was equally humbling to explore old cities where rich history meet the present. I even had the chance to capture three new 60at60 portraits of some dear friends and creative colleagues.

I’m now very excited to get back to our corporate photography projects and continuing to move our headshotsMatter project forward. I’m very grateful to Jennifer for accompanying me on this creative journey and to everyone who we had the opportunity to visit, learn from and photograph!

Cheers, Dwayne.
