At the end of the first week of Kim Klassen’s newest photography course, I decided to practice “multiple-ing” and story-telling near one of my favourite places along Hope River Road: a farm I pass by whenever I visit my mom on weekends. And so this past Saturday evening, I set out with camera in backpack and walked a familiar route past fields of corn to the farm where sunflowers and dahlias bloom exuberantly in late summer. If you are a regular reader of this blog, you will know I have photographed these sunflowers several times before. During this session, I applied the fundamentals of multiple-ing and as many of Kim’s tips as I could recall, and focused as much, if not more, on the process as on the subject. In Kim’s words, I made “time to slow down, breathe, be, see, and capture intentionally.”
