Why didn't I do it?" Then I remembered that I had looked at it, hoping to see a certain light that I had seen there before, and upon not finding it, abandoned the idea of a nice picture there, even though in hindsight, it would have been a lovely background. Sometimes I/we? don't see what's right in front of us because we're looking for something that just isn't there. I'm going to try harder today to see the beauty that's in front of me and not just my ideal.

Made an 8x10 print of the lake last night. This one’s on a satin fine art paper that really does well with lots of color. I’ll probably make a couple more. If you purchase this week, while I’m printing, I’ll get one to you for $20 w/ free shipping. Several payment options.

I find posting pictures of myself and getting my picture taken to be a highly uncomfortable experience. When photographed, I squirm, scrunch my face, talk too much about how I take horrible pictures and try to remember which part of my jaw is giving me the John Turturro look, so I can try to counteract it. I overthink my posture and wonder how some people make it look so simple. Always jealous of those who casually bust out a winning smile with no effort. The truth is, I’ve always been an awkward person. Never quite feeling at ease with small talk and only really opening up when conversation goes beyond a certain level of superficial. I’m not sure what kind of fault this is, but it doesn’t make for a good time at networking events. But I digress. I’m doing an experiment with myself so I can help myself understand what I and those I photograph can do to lighten up a little when the camera is in front of our faces. I’ve got some theories, and one of them is to simply transport your mind back to being a child, before the cares of the world began to bury themselves in your face, and let your countenance reflect that. It takes some concentration, but it seems to work. That’s not what I did for this photo. For this photo, I was trying to make my face not look like John Turturro. - Do you have any tips or are you notoriously uncomfortable as well? I want to know. . . . . #portraitphotographer #nwi #midwestweddingphotography #camerashy
