Just in case potential client editors are looking at my blog to see if I can write, I suppose I should write a really, really interesting and very carefully crafted blog article. It’s doubtful anyone is going to see that here so I guess they’re just going to have to go on blind faith that I can string a few words together to complement (notice I didn’t say “compliment”) my photos. For some reason I felt compelled to write this article to announce to the world that I’m not only photographing the things I enjoy but I’m also writing about them. Actually I do like to write. It’s just that I’m not very fast and I agonize over every sentence, which doesn’t mean that I put together great sentences or articles – it’s just that I agonize over them. There was the perfect quote that I saw somewhere (on Twitter I think) but I can’t remember who said it or exactly how it’s worded but it goes something like this: “I don’t really like writing but I like how I feel when I have finished”. I sort of feel that way about writing too. Fortunately with photography I enjoy every step of the process – well, except maybe keywording and captioning.
So for the obligatory photo to accompany the article and make it all easier to understand, I’ve included this staged photo taken with my cell phone of me editing and correcting a rough draft.. After all, a picture is worth a 1000 words. Sorry, just had to say that.
