My usual inspirations are my family, food, bicycles, interior design, nature, southern charm, good music and long naps.

Mark and I have been working on a new idea and to be honest I have lost interest in the things I was posting here. This is why <a href="http://ahumanperson.tv/">ahumanperson.tv</a> was born.

Thank you if you ever read a single word I had to say, it was fun.<br />

My response is always, you can be! Photography is all about trial and error. Taking a photo usually goes something like this in my head:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"OH! I like that over there. I am going to take a picture of it .....*<i>click</i>*.... ohkay, that looks like nothing..... let me try it this way...*<i>click</i>*..... and like this *click, <i>click</i>* and this way.....*<i>click</i>, <i>click</i>, <i>click</i>* annnd maybe that way *<i>click</i>*" and so on until I get the picture I want</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7vADdMitDvA/TQSYHgYHmUI/AAAAAAAACKE/g5_U-70pLbE/s1600/19159_747724367288_7719878_42809999_2254449_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7vADdMitDvA/TQSYHgYHmUI/AAAAAAAACKE/g5_U-70pLbE/s1600/19159_747724367288_7719878_42809999_2254449_n.jpg" /></a></td></tr>

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;">The two best things about Digital Photography are: <b>one</b>, you can take as many pictures as you want without wasting film/money, <b>two</b>, you can see exactly what your image looks like as soon as you take it. You're going to know if it is good or not right then, why not take that same picture in a <i>slightly</i> differently way until you get something you like. Now there are going to be times that no matter how many times you *<i>click</i>* you're not going to be able to find something, but thats OK. Good picture or not, every one you take is sending you on your way to taking better pictures</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Picture Taking Tips:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><i>Change your position</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">, try taking the same picture up close and far away take a couple in-between too. Then try standing on a chair, or use the floor as your tri-pod. Also, make sure not every shot has your subject directly in the middle of your image.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><i>Natural light</i> is the most beautiful light of all. It will always look better than a flash that is attached to your camera.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><i>Check your borders</i>. When I first started every time I took a picture I forced my eye around all the sides of the frame making sure there was nothing weird sticking in or something very important sticking out. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> </span></li>

Don't stress about being able to remember everything at once. Focus on one idea at a time.
