A vision


I've been told by so many that I need to focus in one area-become an expert in one thing.  Trouble is I'm pretty good at lots of things and not great at any one.  Been that way my whole life-in business, art, sports, you name it.  
I was just told this again by Aline Smithson (see above post) regarding my photo website philberon.com.  Her completely correct point is that my photos are scattered in content and I have no consistent bodies of work.
I've gotten to this point because so much interests me and I hate to be bored.  I went from landscape to homeless people to fashion to macro.  And I love it all! But this process does not serve me any longer.
Going forward I will concentrate on a few bodies of work.  Watch for them.  It can only make me a better photographer.
Todays photo I took in Santa Fe NM.  I saw this scene from the car and had to have it.  I wizzed into a dirt parking lot.  Aimed at the bewildered young boy, fired, and left.  Had to.
