One of the nice things about this kind of photography, is that you never really run out of source material…. Just as long as there’s a half decent design at the end of the process… At the very least it gives material for practice, and that is no bad thing.
Keep trying
That’s the only way things seem to get done. By really trying. Putting as much effort in as possible, until the time comes that either inspiration sets in, or another way becomes obvious, or for some reason the problem just disappears in some way.
I think the worst thing is if one gives up, no matter how tempting. A task can be put aside or attention can be diverted someplace else, and that would seem like circumventing the problem – giving up, but it’s just getting to a solution by a different route.
Must. Not. Give. Up.

London Rain
There are some things in life that are really lovely… Rain in London is one of them I think.

Personality
Personality. That seems to be the thing that’s the most difficult to capture in a photo. Actually, I maybe should say that it’s what most difficult to capture in my photos.
It’s almost like taking portraits is kinda cheating, because you get to “use” the subject’s personality. But at the same time, there are some really wonderful portrait photos out there, that show both personality from the subject and great skill in capturing that moment.
On the other hand, maybe you can learn how to develop and capture that personality through photos… Like design work – when learning the craft of it, maybe it’s a case of experimenting until your own particular feel starts coming through….
Anyhow, here’s a picture. :)
Sara Mitra at the National Theatre in London. Great singer, with a lot of personality, a nice relaxed vocal style…. I think she’s heading for big things.
It’s been a long while….
It’s pretty amazing how fast time passes…. Here we are now with WordPress version 2.5, and a good couple of months since my last posting.
Well the good news is that haven’t been idle, I’ve been working. I won’t bore anyone with the details (this time) but I’ll post a picture instead… I’m really enjoying photography, and I feel that I’m starting to make baby steps. :) We had snow in London, in April! Amazing!
