I’m kind of over the whole photo thing.
It feels selfish to say it but from now on, I just want to go to events rather than record them. That’s not to say I won’t take photos but if I do it’ll be a spontaneous capture-the-moment moment.
It’s not to say I’m not flattered when asked – you must like my photos or why ask me… so, thank you.
Tonight was a case in point. My brother’s exhibition – which was great by the way – but I just wanted to be there, and not as official photographer. To be fair, there was no pressure and yes I did take one or two pics… but tonight I handed my camera to my 9-year-old and let her loose.
I thought she did okay. Lots of pictures of the pictures which wasn’t really the point but also some great shots of the people and from a different perspective. And I got to enjoy the event.

How sad am I? When I go to an event and I don’t have a camera, I feel like I’ve had an arm amputated.
Poshi Junior, I especially love your photo of The Poshi and Son. Can you please send me a copy so I can have it printed.
I think your photos are fantastic.
Love TP
(confession)
Jeff – so do I – I must do – I carry a camera with me wherever I go – its just that if you’re asked to take photos officially – it takes the fun out of it.
And TP – if you go up to Flickr Photos on the menu up the top of this page – then open recent photos and click on the thumbnail – you’ll get the option to view different sizes. Click on “O” for Original, then right mouse click to save it to your hard disk.
Nice shirt by the way.

I love pics. I don’t care if they’re centered, or perfect, or totally irrelevant.
But I *despise* feeling like I have to do something. Bullheaded Taureans like me don’t go in fro being told what to do
I think I find it hard to say no. And then I resent the fact that I didn’t.
(the thing is I’d probably take photos anyway – 8/10 times)

Your 9 year old has a good eye for photo taking too!
