The Old Time Photographers always tell you to follow your vision, your truth and all that BS. That is what just about anyone who gives advice about photography tells you. As a matter of fact, I guess “They” probably say that about any artistic endeavor or any worthwhile endeavor for that matter. It has taken me years to find my vision, if I have even found it. What I do know is that I will capture an image for Me. I really don’t care if someone likes it or not. I of course would like someone to purchase that image, what artist doesn’t. That always helps the pocketbook and ego. The important thing is that capturing that image makes me happy.
Case in point:
The above image “Legs a Running” was captured at The 44th Annual Brian Waterbury Memorial Rock to Pier Fun Run held on July 13, 2013. From Morro Bay to Cayucos, California. Now several other photographers were there and they captured the usual images that you see as far as I know. Nothing incorrect with that. Normal document type of photography is fine, but I am not normal as you can see from the above image. I am different and my vision is different. True not everyone likes that vision and that is fine with me. I am happy with the capture. Not everyone gets it and that is alright. Maybe you have to look at it a bit longer. It is an abstract. I believe it depicts what a fun run is.
It is different, like me. It is my vision for that race.
Follow Your Vision..!!!
Until next time,
