Have you ever
been
inspired to
grab your camera
and just
'shoot from the heart'
?
I mean
what's the worst
that could happen?
The photos
might not
'turn out,'
technically-speaking
or you might
fall flat,
not capturing
that special
'something'
that made you
pick up your camera
in the first place.
You might even end up
deleting
each and every
shot
in frustration.
Or...
you just might
end up
capturing
something
truly
unforgettable.

I did just that
one afternoon last month
when Fen came over to
Grandma & Grandpa's house
to play.
Recently
I have been reading
by
George Lange
who says,
"Which moment will provide the unforgettable picture isn't much in your control...If you can't see the moments, you can feel their flow, like feeling the flow of music. That feeling is essential to taking good pictures; it's as important as having a good eye...I shoot using my heart more than my eyes."
I highly recommend
this book.

whenever
the
'noisy little bald kitten'
comes to visit.
Time
for a nap
- safe and secure -
in Grandpa's arms
