What to Shoot?
One of the constant struggles for any photographer, is, what do I go out and shoot? Here's a
fun game you can play with yourself. Grab your camera, a few rolls of film\memory cards, and
pack 'em in your bag. Open up a map, grab a thumbtack, close your eyes, and put it down on a
spot. Only got an afternoon? Grab a state map and only open a small area. Got a weekend?
Open a country map and try to stay somewhere nearby. Now drive there, get out, and walk
around! Every place, every person has a story. It's up to you to go find it. It might be a
broken-down windmill, or it might be a couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.
We're surrounded by an interactive world - go find something that interests you and make it
into a permanent memory! Interest in a subject is a key as it will give you additional
initiative.
Only interested in family events? Then take your camera with you everywhere. Todays digital
camera equipment is relatively small and a large number of quality digital cameras easily fit
in a pocket or purse. The best pictures I see in a photo album are usually the ones where
family members are caught "unaware". These candid and spontanious shots are a great lasting
memory and history of a familys growth and upon reflection are a great reminder of events
and time spent.
