[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 25228, member: 16"] Very well written, Anthony, and I completely understand where you're coming from on the matter. However, I must confess to not being completely passionate about anything I shoot. I'm one of those "if the mood or subject strikes me at that particular moment" kind of photographers. For instance, when I work at the motorcycle track as a corner marshal, I take my camera with me, to get shots of the bikes as they pass by my corner. Are they good? Sure, some of them are....but not all. It's hard to get a good pan on a bike traveling at over 100 miles an hour. But I love the challenge of getting a great shot. While I'm there, and I see a bird or some other animal, I'll see if I can get a shot of it. Other days, I roam around the city, or the bird sanctuary, or down by the weir, where it's the ducks and birds and wildlife that captures my interest. Other times, I like taking photographs of people downtown. So, to make this short......part of what I shoot is found in Pete's answer, and part of it is in Jacqueline's answer. It's more than a why or a what or a how.....it's more of a feeling, a mood, a vision in your mind's eye. But.....that's just the way I am. [/QUOTE]
