Out of the mouths of babes…
I was editing photos from this weekend’s photo shoots and I showed this image to my daughter. Her response caught me off guard. She said: “I like it, but why?” I looked at her blankly and she continued… “You have aliens on bikes and swamp monsters in swamps, why is the swamp monster on a bike?”
Personally I really liked the image but I understood what she was saying. What was the story? What was I trying to say?
I am continually torn between a good image and a good image that also tells a story. To me that is where the magic happens. If only I could figure out how to take photographs with more intention, rather than photographing like a blind folded darts player.
Do you think about the story you are trying to tell? Or are you like me, and just surprised and happy when it all works out?
