So, that's exactly what I plan on doing...
Subjects for subjects.
Each day, I'll have something new going on... well duh, right? lol
Let me rephrase that, each day, I'll talk about a different subject.
Wait...let me try one more time (as I get used to actually blogging again lol - its okay to laugh. i promise.)
O. KAY.
So. I've compiled a list of topics. Each day, of each week, I will be blogging about this specific topic. (sound better??? cause right now, well, that's all I've got) Unless of course my extreme random brain cells say otherwise, which yes, is very likely. But anywho, here's sorta kinda how I have it played out in my this loco head of mine. I mean why on earth must I blog about NOTHING but photography??? What blog nazi came up with THAT idearrr?? I mean hellooo, would there be a need for photography without the inspiration of the world around us?? Um. yeah, no. How would we find our personal style without engaging in all aspects of photography... photography isn't just about putting the camera up to your face and taking a great shot, but instead, its about seeing the world with your YOUR lenses...YOUR eyes. Its about taking a great shot with your mind, your thoughts, your feelings, your heart. I'm inspired by so so so much, and to be able to share that in more ways than one, well...I hope I can achieve this... by blogging, that is. At least I can only hope. If not, well my life is a soap opera anyway, and I guarantee its full of pure entertainment! Promise!
So I'ma take it on back. Hit that pause button for a minute, and take in all the day has to bring me, whether good or bad, happy or sad. I mean, c'mon, yes I'm behind the camera almost 100% of time (unless I strategically take the pic myself), I KNOW it can be intimidating, and when you've got somebody who you've never really quite met before, and you're trusting THEM to take your picture all while making you look like well, YOU (that's ultimately what we really want right??? It def should be. Otherwise, I'm not the photographer for you). For those few hours as you strip away the craziness of life, you're there, before me, completely vulnerable. My job as a photographer isn't just to capture random people in nice clothes. No. My job is to capture your heart and soul. Capture who you REALLY are. What makes you, YOU. Now, how in the world could I possibly ask SO much from my clients, when they know very little about me? So like you are vulnerable in front of the camera, I am vulnerable behind the camera. My heart and my soul, like yours, is just as exposed. YOU inspire me to do my "job." Without you and your amazing and unique personality, I might as well pack my camera, and head on out. Why would anybody want pictures of "themselves" not being themselves?? What kinda memories are those?? :: pft :: Just as you invite me into your "personal space", I invite you right on back to mine. I'd like you to know what I'm all about... how I roll, cause I WILL roll to your session in sweats, a t-shirt, and a baseball cap. You are more than just a subject or a job, you're my next inspiration. So please, when coming to a session, don't forget your heart, and I promise not to forget mine!
So come on over, grab a cup of
