Shoot Day

I woke to a powder blue sky and sunshine. And while I lay in my beloved bed I thought that I may have time to do some shooting before going to a pre-production meeting for a short I'm casting.

Shooting feels like meditation to me. My mind becomes a still lake and a part of me takes over positioning my object, repositioning me, or the tripod. Where I am restless in my life I am patient with my camera.

Today I used dried plants, a dieing daffodil, heather, a dried rose to explore "Point". I feel like I'm seeing more "line" than point but if I like them, I'll use them for that later assignment. I am looking for points that grab my eye and keep it - "restrained" and interested - this is my ruler.

Taking pictures makes me happy and looking at them sometimes fills me with awe. I even gasped at one picture right after I took it -- I had no idea what it really looked like until I saw it photographed.
