that elusive snapshot

hi all! i hope your week is going well and good things are happening. i’ve been trying to keep a balance of creativity and the mundane day to day work. i still come here for my fix of in between time that nothing else seems to beat.

i stumbled onto my amazon wishlist today and starting looking through the many books i have on it. since i’m probably going to be doing a lot of the photos in my books, it’s going to be really important to study and see what makes or breaks a shot.

it’s amazing that with film cameras these photogs were able to capture such memorable moments in time. sometimes it seems even with a digital and hundreds of images only one or two are real money shots.

i never thought of myself as a good photographer and have heard everything from the fact that it’s not the camera, it’s the photographer, whether you have a disposable or a helga.

still, i find it to be an unattainable art and science combination that may even have a touch of magic thrown in. all  i can ask for is that i am blessed with a bit of that elixir when the time comes!

have a great night!
