In defense of people shooting people -usually the members of their own families - doing nothing....One of the things I've learned from doing these shoots is that it is much easier to "see" things, to see scenes as photographs and images, when the people you are shooting are NOT the members of your own family. I definitely do NOT catch this kind of stuff inside my own home. But when I am dropped into a home, a resort, what ever, as a fly-on-the-wall, visiting-sociologist-from-mars, I see things I would never see at home. B.

Good on you for a job well done ! :-) It's the absolute action doing stuff shooting it while it's happening, the only way to go. We see so many pictures on the LUG that are basically posed or a snap of someone just sitting there in total consciousness of having their picture taken and quite often not the happiest looking camper. If people could only get it through their heads that when the subjects are involved and doing something, the pictures come faster than one can shoot them. Sure beats the hell out of posing any day. Well done my friend, ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
