Photography On The Road

 

 

Most people know that I am a photographer.

 What you might not know is that I am also a Transit Bus Driver.

 

 

(Original blog can be found here: http://stacyfrett.com/blog with other images as well.)

 Some of my best ideas come from the roads that I travel, sometimes in upwards of 300 miles a day. My day starts at 4 am on most days when most people are still snuggled under their covers. By 5:15 or 5:20 am I am on the road to pick up passengers. Presently, my mornings start in complete darkness with the occasional fog. I am often graced with seeing the sunrise as I go through my mornings and later in the year I also get to see the sunset. 

 You might ask what any of this has to do with my work as a photographer. Here goes: My run in the morning goes till 8:30 Am and I am off till 13:45 (1:45 PM). In that time I have a most wonderful break. Typically I grab a snack and go photograph for a couple of hours and then take a nap for an hour around noon. With the remaining time I relax, check my email, and check out a few frames. Other days I go to a local Wi-Fi spot and work on post processing for my website, customers, or Etsy shops: Frett Fine Art and Chaise Longue Gallery of Stacy Frett. I feel incredibly blessed with the day job that I have. I can even schedule shoots in between, but prefer those to be done on Saturdays or Sundays. I am typically busy with other projects as well. 

 Currently am working towards getting a project going with the young adults at Easter Seals in Paducah, KY Using Google Glass as a means of making photographic art. Check it out here: Project info and donation site: Make Art Possible and our Blog. If you have any questions or inquiries please feel free to call me at 270.227.0969 or email me at stacyfrett1@gmail.com. 

 

Thanks and have a great day!

Get To Work!

"Make Art, Not Excuses" is a personal mantra that keeps me motivated to stay creative and get things done. I take a lot of photographs on a weekly basis. Since December 2013 I have shot about 10,000+ frames on one camera alone.

 My Canon EOS 70D is my primary camera for creative projects and day to day shooting. Am proud to say that my work has gotten some nice comments from Canon.

This really made me pleased to have them say that! I have been using their cameras since I first shot film on a Canon AE-1 way back when.

 Here is another recent comment from them

When I took these images it was funny in that I wasn't really in the mood to take them. In fact, I was actually fairly sick at the time.

 There are images that you must take or you will never have that chance again. Be it for purposes of Art or family memories, never second guess yourself.

 Get out there and take that photograph! Seriously, get to work. Second chances are rare. Go Make Some Art!
