The only consistent thing about my post today is the lack of consistency in the images and the theme.  Three different images without a consistent idea behind them or theme to them.  Well, I guess, if you factor in that I like all three images then that is and of its self consistent.

Confused yet?  The above image is the only one from the Corvette shoot that I halfway liked .  I printed this one for Dave and it’s okay, but wasn’t what I had in my mind’s eye.  Dave said, “We’ll try again next year. ”  Hope springs eternal.

This morning I read the blog of one of my favorite photographers, Bill Fortney.  His blog this morning said exactly what I feel about my photography so I’m quoting here directly from his blog (hope that’s not illegal.)

Bill writes… “How do you see the world photographically?   This is not a question with a value judgement, just a question!  The great thing about photography is we can see and interpret the world as we desire.  The shot above is my vision for something I saw this morning and then photographed it, then processed it to my liking…”

…”well, that all depends on how you want to share your vision with the world.  If you see a spectacular world with vivid rich colors, the top shot is for you, if you are much more grounded in reality, you might like the one directly above.  Fortunately we don’t have “photo police” that enforce seeing the world only one way!  Once you start to explore your feelings about images you are open to stretch that vision even further…”

… “So what is the bottom line?  If you feel adventurous, I’ve given you some food for thought, if this is not your thing, it’s o.k.,  feel free to leave it alone.  The most important thing is to find a vision that fits you and works for  you.”

I’ll leave you with this image that I took at the wedding reception last Saturday evening.  This lovely lady works at one of our banks and is just a delight to be around.  One of the very nicest, classiest, and thoughtful individuals you’d ever want to be around.

They were sitting across the table from me and as I watched them I thought I wanted to make an image of this wonderful couple and give it to them to remember this evening.  I really like the way it turned out.

Okay I’ve already told you more than I know so you’re good to go this Saturday.  Enjoy your day and thank you for listening to my ramblings.  It keeps me amused and out of trouble.  Be careful.
