Oh I know there are folks who are very proud of shots SOC or Straight Out of Camera--I am proud of those folks too... I am actually in awe of them. Me--I am just thrilled if I got something good to work with.
I take shots for home and work a lot. And, on occasion--often times when I least expect it, I am struck.
I am struck at the amazing, absolute beauty of people. Not any one person for any particular reason. Sure there are some folks who are uber-photogenic, but that is not what I am talking about.
I am talking about being taken aback by their people-ness (yes I like to make up words-- I am in communications, it is ok.) and appreciating the sheer beauty of their image.
I once heard photographer Rick Sammon speak (he is a Cannon guy, but I'll forgive him;) and I didn't "get" it yet. I didn't get how you could get so wrapped up in your images.
In their beauty. In their detail.
Just for a moment, the image takes me to a place where I just appreciate the beauty of the person.
In all their uniqueness. In all of the detail God took the time to put in them.
I may not even know them very well. But I am still struck.
I know what strikes me ( a lot of striking and struck-in' going on tonight...lol) doesn't always effect others... but never-the-less it always leads me to think...
If I am touched by these images that I created...
Then how much more my God is struck by the people he created for me to enjoy as subjects:)
(Ya know it is all about me...lol)
As a fellow creative, I now get it. And in some awesome way, images like these always draw me in to my ultimate Creative.
And no--this little cutie is not ours... and someone please remove that gorgeous child from Puddie's arms before he gets any ideas. ;)
