I’m with you John, true photos should capture a moment in time – as it is – not made up. Not that made up ones aren’t fun as well of course.

I do note though that in alot of your self portraits you have the same expression on your face – the pursed concentration of taking the photo. Don’t worry, I do it too.

Well John,
I totally agree with you about no rules to good photography only good pictures and I’m not a fan of taking photographs when people are posing I enjoy a more spontaneous photo, It captures “the moment” much better.

One thing I love about the iPhone and Twitpic is that you can browse your photos over the last year or so and totally see the timeline of your life.

As you peruse through the photo’s you’ll be like this…. “Wow, that trip to Vancouver BC was 3 months ago? It seemed like yesterday”.

Or… “Damn, that picture of grandma sure looks great. She sure was happy on that rainy October day.”

Anyhow, if you use Twitpic or any type of online journal you’ll know what I mean the second you start going back in the archives and view what you were up to.

I’ve been lucky to have a camcorder since the age of 18 and I filmed all kinds of random stuff. Much of it scares me to even watch. But I can’t help to think how cool it would be to show my kids or grand kids what it was like back in the olden days of 1992!

I feel pretty lucky to have so much of that footage on tape.

I get weird and loony around classic art, too. I feel super-hella-blessed to live near the Met! (Which reminds me, I haven’t been to see Joan in a while:

There are not many pictures of me growing up. My family did not have a lot, and something like a nice camera was an extravagance.

However, fast forward to today. My wife absolutely LOVES to take pictures. When we first married, it annoyed me. But now I look back, I am so glad she did – and still does.

Thanks for a wonderful post and looking forward to reading and seeing about your trip to Australia.

John – good post! Really enjoyed the read and the photos, too.

I find it funny however that you can’t stand watching seminar footage of you from way back when. I think Dan Kennedy, with his red suits and shockingly orange afro, should be the one who made that statement!

As usual, sweet post John and make it a GREAT day. =)
