Perspective

"No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; 
a single experiment can prove me wrong."  
(Albert Einstein)

I am so good at getting in the habit of routines.  When I try a method that works, I never attempt to venture out.  I'm starting to realize that this mentality will never allow me to learn new things.

The first thing I do when I upload photos from a shoot is delete the ones that are out of focus.  I was going through photos from a wedding I did a few weeks ago and - for the first time - I found an unfocused photo that I kept.

The bride and groom seemed like private people who simply wanted to spent time together away from the crowd.  I quickly snapped this one when they were leaving the church.  You can sense their eagerness to have 5 seconds alone together before everyone else exited the ceremony.  The more I studied it, the more I felt it portrayed the excitement, anticipation, and romance of the day.

Or who knows, maybe it's just another unfocused photo.  I guess it depends on how you look at it.
