I saw it in my head
I want to announce my next workshop “Autumn in France” to be next October 2nd. It will be in Bordeaux, Dordogne, and Toulouse. If you go to the top of my blog and click on the link, you can read the description. Join me for a great visual experience, seeing places that few people won’t ever be able to.
For those new to my blog, I’ve been posting stuff since 2011. My posts come from what I see, hear, and read, and many from ideas that come specifically from my online classes with the BPSOP, and in my “Stretching your frame of mind workshops” I conduct all over the (round) planet.
This posts is about my fellow photographers who have told me in the past that they wished that they had a camera when they saw something that was worth photographing.
It was something that inspired them, a beautiful sight, an observation, or something that triggered their imagination…in other words, a vision.
Those types of visions would forever remain in their heads because they didn’t have a camera close enough to capture it.
Having said that, there is one occasion when I see a beautiful sunset but I rarely photograph it. I have a million of them in the fifty-three years I’ve been shooting, so I just enjoy watching it.
I digress
I realize that you can’t always have a big camera with you which is why I always have my little Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 with me. It does everything my big canon does, and if you look at my website, you wouldn’t know which camera I was using.
Remember that it’s not the camera, it’s the ten inches behind it that matters. I have sold it to a whole lot of my students that now carry it ‘close to their heart’.
So, a vision is just that, a vision if you keep it in your head.
