Here is a picture in the works. Yes shadows must be altered, and hopefully I can find another spinning picture to substitute in for my blurry one. I have been thinking a lot about where this art will take me. I love pictures, especially if they are in focus (no comments...on the details of this one..it's in the works!). I love creating things with pictures. I feel like I get to smash memories from multiple pictures into one really unique work of art. I was fooling around with some things and I came out with this over the weekend. I know photographers might hate me for this, but sometimes I wish I would just publish a book on how to take good pictures. I travel dozens if not hundreds of sites, looking at photographs. Most of the time I find myself saying, "I could do that". Most of the time I feel that I do match up to them. I know hundreds (well maybe dozens..) of tricks and tips. It's not that difficult and I think anyone could do it.
I feel confident in my abilities, but there are so many variables that taint them. It helps to have a good weather day if you aren't using a flash. It helps if your bride has a killer dress. It helps if the kids you try and photograph are in good moods. It helps if you don't have to worry about locations and if they are open to photography. It helps if you can find parking for those great shots. It helps if your chosen subjects naturally DON'T blink every time you take a picture. It helps if you can get that great shot in your expected allotment of time. It helps if the people you are working with are appreciative (thank you Sephy and fam....ahh I love working with them. They are sooo grateful for everything).
I think I am going to stop looking at others for ideas. Today it is smashing my hopes at ever aspiring to be really good and make a living off of what I love. I'm ok with settling my services in exchange for babysitters down the road. I am also ok with doing it as a gift, or just because it is fun. I hate competing, but I know in the business world, that is all you ever do. Go me:D I am in the works.
