Each time I drive past this old True Temper site, I’m saddened by the loss of industry in my hometown; however, the American Flag always serves as a reminder that our little community still stands proud. These grounds may be desolate, but they’re beautiful in my eyes…a tribute to days gone by. You can take away our jobs, but you […]
Hello and thank you for taking a moment to check out my blog. My name is DeLaynne Taylor. My passion for photography began as a small child, with old family photos in my Aunt Elinor’s cedar chest. I would excitedly beg to “read” her pictures. Guess I realized, even at that young age, that every good photograph tells a story. Eventually, I started taking my own photos, primarily using an Olympus SLR film camera. I enrolled in a photography class in high school, where I learned to develop and print in the darkroom. Although I miss those film/darkroom days, I now only shoot using a DSLR camera.
Capturing my subjects in their most natural state is important to me. I want their true essence to shine through. I prefer candid shots over posed portraits. I’m intrigued by faces, especially eyes, and love shooting close ups that reveal genuine expression. Although I enjoy different styles of portraiture, I prefer lifestyle. I’ve recently discovered that I absolutely LOVE street and journalistic style photography.
I consider myself a hobbyist and shoot purely for pleasure. I’ve toyed with the idea of eventually trying to make photography a full time career; however, after a prolonged absence from shooting, I’ve discovered that’s no longer my ultimate goal. I just want to keep developing my craft and photographing subjects that captivate me. Anyway, since my other passion is writing, a blog seemed like the perfect forum for sharing my work. Thank you for joining me on my adventures as I focus on life.
