What if you took pictures of what you did each day, how would you photograph it? What angle? How would you compose it? How would you make it 'interesting'?
I usually feel comfortable photographing people. And I never stopped to think that photographing something i'm NOT good at or NOT familiar with, could also help me and make me better at photographing people (something i'm already comfortable with and fairly good at).
So making breakfast this morning, I decided to take a few pics of what I was doing. And ya know what? It made me stop and think..."ok, i'm making french toast. How would I make that an interesting photo? What part of making french toast could I photograph to capture the viewers attention?" Stopping and thinking is good. So after taking pics this morning, I now have the experience of doing it and that proves that I can successfully capture a seemingly blah moment and make it interesting.
I love photography. Plain and simple. It makes me want to be a kid again; to play, have fun, be creative. It opens up a world of possibilities where anything can happen and your in control of it all! Thats pretty cool! And THATS why I love photography!
