I have to admit that 2025 fell well short of expectations. Except for a handful of moments, planned outings and other photo adventures went unfulfilled for the most part. Various reasons for that including monsoon-like weather and flooding the first half of the season; dry as a bone second half of the season; concentrating on writing two new novels; plus personal health issues that slowed me down. However, I did manage a few outings and captured a few photographs here and there. One big reason 2025 fell short of expectations was because of an over ambitious agenda to begin with. So, for 2026, I am looking to tone down the agenda and concentrate on a few specific and more doable adventures. Let's take a look.
I am definitely going to concentrate more on wildlife photography, but with a twist. I have always advocated shooting close to home mainly because doing so simplifies the process and the logistics involved and I also live in an area where there is an abundance of available wildlife opportunities. It just requires I focus more in that area. So, wildlife photography will become a major portion of my photographic efforts.
I also plan on creating a new BTC video/blog series called Wild Kentucky. Still trying to formulate a workable plan on just how best to accomplish this but tentatively speaking it will include hiking, canoeing, camping adventures, and day trips where I concentrate on the wildness of Kentucky's natural offerings. This single series will perhaps occupy the majority of my 2026 efforts. At this time, I have no set number of article or video limits. I'll just play it by ear as the season progresses.
As part of the Wild Kentucky series, I'll also attempt to provide background information about the subjects I will photographing. Mainly, I just want to refocus on the things I enjoy the most without over-extending myself.
Hope you follow along through the new season. See ya out there!
Looking forward to seeing what 2026 brings!
