Trying to be creative during a pandemic.

My employer has us on 25% operational, which means, out of a five day work week, I work from home four days out of the week and one day in the office. Which would make you believe, that I have a lot of time on my hands. But for the last two months, I've been the acting supervisor for my program, tracking the time of my fellow photographers and reporting back to the unit chief. So far, so good, for my government day job.

But, when you're trying to be a creative photographer, working in a pandemic, your limited to were you can go and what you can photography. I decided to photograph small objects, like flowers. Colorful, small, flexible, and many different types to photograph. I decided to use my new Nikon D850 which I plan to use for my real estate business, landscapes, and now tabletop projects. So far, things are going fine. My first subject ended up well. Which you saw if you have been following my blog.

Now, the only trouble I have, is getting flowers that are flesh, but the local flower shops are closed, and the grocery store version, doesn't seem to last long. I should go around the neighborhood and clip buds, that I find, even from my neighbor’s plants. I could also, pay the price and order online. I send flowers to my long time girlfriend all the time, and they seem to last.

So, a long weekend is near, so I plan to do some more tabletop projects. I let you know what I do for the subject matter.
