I was really struggling for ideas after coming back from Alaska. It’s hard to go from an environment where everything is new and different back to your hometown, where everything is familiar.

The funny thing is, I felt like I was struggling with photos up there. Like every photo I was taking was just a snapshot that anyone else could take. The landscape was doing all the work for me. Felt better when I started post-processing them. I feel like that’s really where “style” comes into effect.

That being said, I did very little post-processing on this one. Shooting almost straight into the setting sun lends its own stylistic effect, I think.
