refreshed; i am-
                            refreshed;

i haven’t shot in a while now- i always seem to enjoy a good break from photography

i think things were just getting too mundane and perfunctory- and the whole concept of ‘capturing’ the moments went to naught; and from time to time i just need to stop looking at the world through the camera and open both eyes; and spend time with the people in my life that make the moments in my life; moments.

its funny how i’ve talked about the importance of pictures; because memories are fleeting- and nothing else can capture time- life, like photography. but, “you notice the things you’ve experienced”- is a quote i’ve heard before; and its only after putting down the camera and joining in the laughter and disappointments of life, that i can really see the things that make the moments in life so cherished;

but now; i think its time to start looking at the world through my nine focal points again-

what runs through my mind when i’m trying to compose a picture?

thought  1) fill the frame
thought  2) follow natural lines
thought 3) use negative space
thought 4) find unusual angles
thought 5) i hope i don’t mess up
