I see details...

It's a strange thing....
once you have viewed the world through
a camera's viewfinder, 
and have become
 "addicted to the click",
you see things differently.

much differently.....

It seems that 
once you realize the infinite 
possibilities of 
capture....

well...
it 
changes 
you.






I spent the morning 
shooting 
stuff
for my Etsy
shop.
I had been concentrating on 
light,
shadows,
set-ups,
etc...

and then,
hot,
exhausted,
head hurting,
and
a little pissy...
I plopped myself
down on the nearest 
sofa, leaned back 
and
 then
 looked at the 
things piled on the coffee
table.

"wonder how that would look?"
"wonder what the light is doing this far from the window?"
Set's see...
I can do this...
and this...
and 
well,
maybe
 this too..

Minutes pass,
many 
minutes.......

You would think I had nothing else to do,
nope..
I have laundry,
dishes,
cleaning,
you know the routine,
but still 
the camera,
she calls....

smiles.

  1. Oh! I know what you mean! Well written post - when you get into shooting, you start to look at the world as if you were going to take a picture. I just get frustrated by not getting into the camera what my eyes see/imagine.

    BTW, thank you for stopping by my Flickr photo stream - it brought me to your great blog!

    I'll be back : - )

    Cheers!

  2. I agree. Photography can be all consuming. I still love it but I'm trying to get used to digital. Interesting blog. I am your new follower.

  3. You've captured me with this post! I get distracted tweaking things and before I know it there is no time for anything else!

  4. Yes, this is so well put. I've heard that call since I was very young and it doesn't grow less insistent. Fortunately, I made it one of my professions and married a fellow obsessed photographer so it's pretty non stop around here! We're off in the morning to photograph a 40 acre dahlia farm. Wishing you a beautiful weekend, my friend! xo – g
