Imagine

Tonight I would like to discuss the word imagine.  I was at a meeting where there is a gorgeous salt water fish tank with the most wonderful and colorful fish.  To imagine what they are thinking with everyone staring at me reminds me of when I am taking photographs.  What could the objects of my photograph be thinking when I point my lens their way?  For posed pictures I'm sure its, "Does my hair look OK?", "Do I look fat?", "Is she getting my best angle?", and so on.  But for those that you catch in the moment whether it be an action shot or just a group of people talking and laughing are they actually thinking about the picture or are they just living the moment?  It's wonderful to imagine the conversations that you are capturing and how the pictures will be perceived when they are delivered.  Those are the moments and things that make me really love doing photography.  So what are you imagining tonight?  Until next time.....
