This is just a random post with the some of the things I have been checking out in the last two weeks. I have been reading a new book….one of my “me time” activities. I have just finished “Veronica must die” by Paulo Coelho. The book was amazing and is a reminder to me of how much we try to fit into other people’s definition of who we are instead of going within and discovering who we really are. My commitment to myself after reading this book is to JUST BE and really focus on my authentic self as opposed to fitting into the box of other peoples expectations.
I am also reading The Photographers Eye by Michael Freeman. This is a great resource for photographers and goes in depth into composition and can give you a great foundation, however the rest is up to you. An excerpt from the book is below:
“A great deal goes on in the process of making an exposure that is not at all obvious to someone else seeing the result later…. What I will attempt to do here is to show how photographers compose their images, according to their intentions, moods and abilities and how the many skills of organizing an image in the viewfinder can be improved and shared.”
