First Thoughts

My first thoughts are that I like what I am reading. When, in my case photographing, you should always keep going. Don’t second guess whether or not what you are photographing is going to make a good photograph. I actually have found myself second guessing what I should be taking pictures of. You can’t make it a chore to take pictures. You have to have an open mind about it. I have to agree with Cameron when she says that if you are going to write you can’t be specific about what you are going to be writing about, otherwise you will draw a blank. I found myself to be stuck in this situation. I had an idea of what I wanted to photograph but when I sat down and really thought about was I was actually going to take pictures of I froze up. I got to the point where I just had to take pictures so I just went out and started snapping away. Next thing you know I start coming up with possible ideas for my subject I wanted to do. So now when I photograph I try not to think about what I want to do I just go out and start shooting, sometimes ideas hit me like a ton of bricks and other times still nothing. Now with the all the photographing I have been doing I find myself with not only one but two possible subjects.
