Perspective

"What we see depends mainly on what we look for."
-John Lubbock
 
I find this quote interesting, because it is so true within our society. Most of us only focus on the negatives and some of us only see the positive, but the true way to live is to see everything with balance. Photography can become so bland if you don't find new ways to express yourself, and trust me I've had my share of the traditional "hey I'll take a bunch of pictures of you and we'll call it a day". I see so many photographers' works, and I realize the only way to make it matter is to do something different. This is getting really deep, but basically photography (not that I'm in anyway a professional or anything) is easily tiring by just taking pictures of the same thing. What's the fun in that? So based on this quote, I decided to do some perspective shooting and playing around with focuses and such. I really enjoyed this mini series, but sadly it started to rain halfway through and I had to return home. I'm thinking there will definitely be more of these in the future, but I can't even decide what to wear tomorrow so who knows.
