Recap from yesterday:

Capture life's fleeting moments.

Life is best unposed.

Behind the Lens-Viewing Life

I had the privilege of taking Senior pictures for siblings Magan and Austin.  Two days of photographing in cold and rainy weather brought about worries of soggy moods and less than sunny pictures.  With rain, low temperatures and skirt-blowing wind, our setting was limited.  But I had marvelous subjects.  And as a bonus, the imposed weather and setting set-back, taught me a few things about taking pictures...... and life.

Some of the most unassuming places make for the best backdrops. In picture-taking and  life-making, explore the unassuming.

A couple of pictures were taken from atop an air conditioning unit.  Without the right perspective, my eyes were focused on a busy background.

  In picture and in life, notice when your perspective needs changing.

Busy backdrops are all too common.  Simplify.

 

Life is black and white and bright with vivid color.  Don't fool yourself into thinking it's one or the other.  Appreciate both.

Don't let cold and rainy days stop you from your memory-making.  On warmer days you'll look back to beauty preserved and the cold won't sting quite so bad.

Make room for some "silly".

Snap away.  Nobody looks back and says, "I made too many memories".
