Just there..

One of the joys of committing to a photography project are things that happen that cannot be repeated which often add weight and good talking point. I guess its a bit like a wedding in that respect, but I have a hard time putting the word wedding and photography in the same sentence. Weddings should have their own title, as should engagement and baby ‘photography..’ (Please don’t call it ‘social documentary’, a title that also makes no sense to me, its either documentary or its not!)

Most projects start with a response to something like a landscape, a person or object, or perhaps and event. But looking at photography in this way can ruin the surprise… I would like to say that the image above had me jumping out of the car and scrambling for my camera. But there I was already set up and exposing , camera on tripod, shutter open. All I could do was enjoy the moment..
