Quite often when I’m shooting one thing I’m on the lookout for anything else that might make a nice photo even it’s not really what I’m supposed to be shooting. I was working on a project with some dancers and I had this corner setup with a nice dramatic lighting arrangement. These dancers were ready to pose for me but I noticed that when they walked up together they fell into a conversation and I liked their relaxed look a lot. I realized right away that I wanted to catch a genuine candid moment in this light just as much as I wanted some nice poses. As I picked up my camera they immediately started to hit a real pose but since I really wanted to get a candid first I told them a little white lie and said I needed to take a couple of test shots to check the lighting. They immediately fell back into their conversation and totally ignored me as I photographed them. I got exactly what I wanted.

I spotted this in my yard the other day. The flower is about as big around as dime.

On a recent occasion when I was out shooting just for myself I was on a mission to simply shoot some black and white images with one of my vintage 35mm film cameras. I was traveling light and it was the only “real” camera I had with me. I sat down on this park bench to take a break and this seed pod laying on the bench next to me caught my eye. I knew right away that I wanted a color photo of the scene and so the camera in my phone saved the day.
