Monty Chandler Photography

This blog is dedicated to sharing my thoughts and photographic works of the things I choose to shoot. Sharing my views of what I see, capturing them in photography and converting them into art.

Transitions - Semper Iuvenis

The entrance Semper Iuvenis Studios
As I begin the transition from suburbanite to country living it strikes me just how aligned my inner clock is to the serenity found in nature.

After raising a family in the accepted norms of a subdivision and the accompanying schools, shops and social stimuli, I look forward to the privacy and isolation found in carving out a little niche all my own in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. 

No neighborhood covenants about running a small business out of my home, or rules about parking a trailer on my property nor the complete lack of privacy found in the neighbors being able to see right into my house whenever the blinds are opened. 

It will take several months to get the photo studio set up and ready for the selective business that it will see, but in the end it will provide the space to shoot almost anything that a client has in mind.  The first test will happen in a couple of weeks as we work on a complex shoot for an album cover for a regional artist. 

More to come as we progress..

Cheers..
