As I consider how I want to include the presents of people more into my work, I have found it a little harder to include portraits, I am still focusing more on artifacts and evidence of the land being used. I want to find a balance of land a person when making my images. I don’t think I need direct portraits, a more candid approach will probably be best. I will continue to think about my approach to this moving forward.

I have noticed the path continues to be a large theme in my work. Often these images are a reflection of where I have been, or where I wish to go. As much I like this concept, and I am obviously drawn to creating these images. I do want to not have them so heavily present in my work, again another aspect I feel I need to balance in my work.
