Randomness

I've mentioned this in my previous post, randomness can sometimes surprise you..in a good way. One of my favorite things to do with this thing that has permanently attached to my body, I call it a camera, is to photograph randomness. Random things, random people, random moments. In my mind, I believe that anything can happen at any time, at any place. One way for me to practice on getting better in capturing this kind of random moments, is to really do the capturing part.

Sunday afternoon. Long Beach, California. Shoreline Village, where the Queen Mary rests.

Really. The next time when you go somewhere, take your camera with you. I challenge you to step out of your comfort zone, don't be afraid, and capture some randomness. Chances are, many will come out better than you will expect. And some, will surprise you, in a good way.

About me

I am a wife to a loving, thoughtful husband, a mother of two little angels. Because of my husband's job, we have relocated from New Jersey to Los Angeles three years ago. I miss everything back East..NYC, Gray's Papaya, the subway..but know that LA is where God wants us to be right now. His grace is sufficient; I can't live through a day without depending on Him. My love affair with photography began when I was sixteen years old, when I saw a photograph taken by my cousin at South Seaport in NYC--it was a light switch turned on somewhere inside me. When I came home, I dove into photography. Since then, I've always had a burning desire to pursue photography. It was unfortunately cut short due to choosing another field of study during my college years..not until I became a stay-at-home mom and a God-given opportunity early this year, I was able to finally reunite with this passion..and the rest is history.

I rely on my instincts to be at the right place at the right time, my eye to see the composition, my soul to envision the meaning and possibility, my mind to read the light, and my experience to do it well every time. These are the intangibles of good photography-instinct, an eye, soul, a technical mind, and years of experience.

Every time someone tells me how sharp my photos are, I assume that it isn't a very interesting photograph. If it were, they would have more to say. ~Author Unknown
