I've been having this sort of weird push-pull sensation with my photography lately. On one hand, I'm feeling really confident about my ability to get the shot. I feel like I know my equipment, I can see the light, I know how to frame it all pretty well. I mean, don't get me wrong, of course there's room for improvement, but the foundation for it all is there. And I finished putting together my New York photo book, and it's being printed as we speak. Some of the images in it I absolutely
love. I can't even really believe that I took them. I will definitely show it off here when it arrives.
But . . . what I
really want to be doing is photographing people and I'm just not succeeding. I'm not brave enough to ask my friends, and then when I do take their picture I feel like they wouldn't want me to blog it (definitely true in Evan's case) and so it just molders away on my hard drives. I want to get some more portrait experience, so I really just need to make it happen.
Wish me luck, k? And send some bravery my way.
