Last night I went out to check out this months First Friday, I stopped by a few of my favorite galleries here in the city, but I decided to go for a walk instead. I walk every day and, and I have my “main” loop through the city, so I picked it up and walked home.
I walk fast. I do not like to meander, but I am always looking for the next shot, I see plenty of photographs. I am not the type that just shoots away because hey it is digital and you can (except for certain circumstances). When I go out to photograph I treat digital as if it was film. I only have so many exposures on this “roll”, and I have no more film on me.
Just the other night I went out, but I forgot my memory card in my computer, thankfully, my LX3 has a little internal memory about enough for about 4 raw files. It was very limiting, but a good challenge too, and it makes you really think about what you are shooting
When I am out for a walk, a photograph really has to jump out and whap me upside my head for me to stop, even then sometimes I don't stop but I am getting better at making my self stop (because I have been missing some good shots) even if it means turning around like this shot from last night.
