Stop sign #5 – I don’t have time. Answer: How much time does it take to snap a photo of yourself behind the wheel waiting in traffic, the full kitchen sink, the beautiful toy in the sunlight in your kid’s room. It isn’t time you are lacking, it is imagination and decisiveness. Keep your camera with you. If you have a big honkin cadillac of a camera, then get your phone out when you are on the go. FIND A WAY to take the photo!
This photo was at a local diner. It took no more than 20 seconds to get my camera on the table, take the shot, review the shot and put the camera back down on my seat. It isn’t time you are lacking.
I was at a conference in OKC that was rather uninteresting for part of it. The light was really quite good for being indoors and everyone was so still that I could resist setting my camera on my lap and pointing it in different directions. I didn’t look at the camera, just took photos randomly, sometimes zooming in, sometimes not. It wasn’t until I looked at the photos later that day that I saw what I had captured. This was one of the best of the lot.
