Bristly


Bristly, originally uploaded by Brian E Mitchell.
Photographers are always looking for the mythical "perfect shot". Perfect lighting, perfect color, perfect composition. The picture that literally falls in your lap and allows you to just cash in, buy a Lamborghini and spend your time trying to figure out which yacht you're going to sail to the caribbean on this week.

Unfortunately, we're not all Peter Lik! Sometimes there really isn't a lot of color, the light isn't perfect and the composition just doesn't happen, no matter how hard we try.

This photography thing, as it turns out, is tough. I'm not complaining, it's worth the effort. But some days are just, well, bristly.

  1. Indeed. And I know many photographers who are feeling this way right now. One of the things I love best about your images though...is the way it feels like you can reach through a window and touch your subject. You're shots are always so clean and this one is no exception.
    I'm glad you're getting out there...
