back to the home town again! and this time i took A LOT of pictures. one of the insightful parts about becoming a photographer is simply looking at things differently, looking at them through a lens. we have such a wide scope of vision with our basic sight, but when you’re looking through a lens, you can crop and zoom and focus on different objects. it shakes it all up! and it’s awesome. you might never notice some details about your home or your neighboring park but look at a photo of it and you’ll start to pay attention.
this time around, i did a duo photo shoot with a friend and let me tell you, it’s so much more fun. you can talk about what you’re shooting and get ideas from each other. plus it’s kinda nice to not be alone when your shooting. i find that if i’m out on my own shooting, i don’t stick around an area long. i get impatient. but when i’m with someone else i’m much more likely to stick around and wait for a perfect shot. i guess i prefer the company. he took a lot of good pictures too that were different than mine, which is also great to see. it’s neat that 2 people can be at the same place, but take some totally different photos. i’d definitely recommend shooting with a friend.
