A Different Perspective

Taking a photo of a different perspective, hmmmmm looking at the world a little differently, stepping outside of my comfort zone, I can do that. Now to portray that in a photo. What I imagine in my mind is not necessarily what I see through the lens. Change my angle, change the light, take the shot..... not quite right. So I begin again. Eventually, I realize that what I'm looking for cannot be found in my subject I try something new, something that hadn't been first in my plan; it works. I took the time to re-evaluate what I was looking for, changed my expectations a bit and then realized what my subject was capable of giving. Viola... Success.

Haven't we all been in this situation. We imagine things one way and then they don't turn out as we thought. We keep trying to change our surroundings to "make it right" only to end up frustrated, disappointed, angry, and confused. Take a moment to breathe, re-evaluate the subject, re-think your expectation, find a place of peace and acceptance and somewhere in that.... Viola... Success.
