Four Years Strong

2015 marks the fourth year of this blog's existence.  It seems like it was just yesterday that I was struggling to find the right words to say on my first post (well, that it is for every post, but that is another point).  As a refresher, the post is below:

First, I want to say that one of my goals for the new year (2011) is to start a blog sharing my pictures with added comments.  I am probably one the last dinosaurs to move into the new era of technology.  For those that follow my twitter account, I am sorry, but you may be a tad bit disappointed.  Back in 2007, my mother got me a camera for Christmas (a Kodak Easy Share).  Since then, I have taken over 20,000 pictures with this camera.  When I moved to Eastern Kentucky in 2009, I became increasingly fascinated with Kentucky in general.  Since then, I have had the goal of visiting every county in Kentucky (Kentucky 120).  You can view my facebook account to see the current status of this journey. There are so many people to thank for their inspiration for taking pictures, especially those that have went with me while taking pictures.  To all of you all, thank you.  I will try to bring to you some pictures that I have currently taken and then some pictures from the past.  I love comments and will appreciate any feedback that you may give.  Be gentle though, I have a huge ego...ha ha.

So, to begin, this picture below is taken with the Kodak Easy Share in Franklin, Kentucky on Kummer Road (Spraypaint Road for all my locals).  It would only be fitting that I begin in my hometown.  While showing my girlfriend my hometown, I took her out to see the fascination that is Spraypaint Road.  I like the overall feel of this picture, but I am especially drawn to the lines in the sky.  The picture was taken in black and white.  I did not edit this picture.  

In reading the first post, I know I have come a long way (literally and figuratively) in the last four years.  I never thought I would my photography would be where it is today.  Am I accomplished?  No.  Is it complete?  No.  Not at

all.  2015 has the makings of being an awesome year.  Some of which has already started.
