Just get out of the house.
So often I find myself inside my room with my big monitors just editing photos or recording music, or reading posts about this, that, and the other. Sometimes, you just need to get out of the house and take your camera with you, because you never know what could happen. And that’s what I did today.
I was supposed to shoot downtown today, but the person I was shooting with got invited to go rock climbing outside, so we went to take pictures at a park that had open fields, a tiny rock wall, a playground and a kid doing flips???? As we were climbing this kid, John, age 13, did a front flip off small ledge. And we wanted more. I immediately got out my lights and had one of my friends assist me as we went around the park finding things for him to jump off of.
He was as excited to be flipping in front of the camera as I was to be behind the camera.
I always love what I find when I just take my camera out for a walk, or a hang out with friends. John was a trooper, and I am sure we will be working together again in the future.
