a slight detour from our route

My first official large explore of 2012!

I decided to head up to my cabin spur of the moment via the long route.  I had originally wanted to visit friends and explore nearby but quickly changed my mind deciding to take the extra long route to the cabin I wanted to try out my new camera and photograph places I had not yet seen. I found a few schools, lots of farmyards and of course churches. I got to revisit places I had not seen in years and photograph them with a new perspective. The snow was deep but the grids weren't bad. I had to hike out to a couple locations but I cant complain because I got to take some amazing photographs.

Overall the trip was a success considering it was spur of the moment, no planning and hardly any maps. I did get to photograph lots I have not seen and plan to return to some places I did not have time to visit. As a bonus i get to check off more Ukrainian Churches off my list!

near year new camera

I cant believe another year has past and another has begun.

I definately did not get to visit all the places I wanted to see last year and became quite disorganized with my trips. I plan to stay on top of trips this year and visit some new places. I am also planning some return trips to old places, if they are still around.

Some Goals:
  • Visit Montana again this year
  • Return to some locations I have not seen for years
  • Finish up photographing Ukrainian Churches in the province - Im close!
  • Visit some smaller locations that I have been meaning to visit for years now
  • Participate in the Great Race
  • Visit some military bases in the states
  • Explore some stuff in Alberta
I plan to make longer more efficient trips as their is nothing around the place I live that I have not already seen multiple times. It has also come to my attention that each year I have 20 less posts than the year before and I plan to change that. I am going to stay on top of this blog and continue to post after each time I go out to photograph.

With a new camera I can take even better and more creative photographs!
