Although I may opt to simply see and experience, rather than
photographing, there is nearly always a camera, often two, ready to go in my
bag. This shot was caught on a morning walk up to Penn. I’m pretty sure I just turned around and
there it was; the camera was not out and I wasn’t thinking about taking
pictures.
Often, the less I think about photography and the less self-conscious I
am of being in the landscape with a capture device, the better things go. I’ve never done well with the idea of “going out
to take photographs” unless I give myself permission to come home empty handed.
Also I’ve found, the lighter the gear, the better. The less the gear screams
“Pro photographer!” the happier I am.
I’d much rather be taken for a tyro or a student and simply blend in.
Toy cameras are great that way. I’m currently using a tiny 35mm camera that’s
bright blue and it seems to do an end-run around what most people perceive as
“camera.
More shots!
This weekend I did a late night shoot at Gemini and Scorpio's Lost Circus:
