Now that I am retired I can spend as much time as I want pursuing the best pictures; I am an amateur photographer, as well as have been for decades… Working a full time job as well as raising as well as family does not leave a lot of extra time for hobbies.
I waited a long time to be able to immerse myself in the world of photography, as well as for the last 2 years that is exactly what I have been doing.
I spend 30 to 40 minutes a week in the woods looking for the perfect shots, as well as twice that much time editing! Because I live in the forest outside of Denver, CO, I never have to worry about subject matter, because this is the most charming locale in the world. I rarely ever go to Denver, as well as I have never taken any photos there, because I prefer nature photography, however but while I don’t want to live in the city, there is a reason that I chose to live so close to Denver, then although I have the solitude as well as tranquility of nature all around me, I am just a 15 minute drive from the outskirts of Denver, which gives myself and others access to a lot of resources. If I lived farther away from Denver I might have to grow our own weed, but thanks to local cannabis dispensaries I don’t need to do that, and denver is so close I can go there whenever I need, but it is far enough away that I can forget about it altogether… until the next time I want to get cannabis.
