fixed to rest on you
I cannot express how exciting it is to be in full-on knowledge acquisition mode again. I get home from work and I'm either reading books and blogs, looking at photos trying to find faults or gain information, watching video seminars, basically just grabbing any little particles of experience and inspiration that I can get. I spend my day looking for angles or trying to judge light and color.
Of course, you might say "Chris, you don't post many pictures. All reading and no bursting is useless!" I've read this a lot so far from various sources and I have to say it's insane. Some pictures, some knowledge, some pictures, some knowledge...this is the way to go. I took 700 pictures this weekend and didn't hate eight of them. I learned a ton about what exactly I did wrong that I wasn't picking up at the time because I was trying to keep up with my guides. I wouldn't have known all of what was wrong with them, however, without the previous week's worth of study. On the other hand, maybe I am just talking away nerding out. I'm okay with either.
This brings me to the point of this post, which I am making instead of talking about acts of God and my stomach that have kept the playlist entries to a minimum or my increasingly delirious search for a job and relocation to an area where things actually happen. I was looking through some people's older pics on Flickr to pick up information and realized that it was really fucking creepy. I feel like I'm spying. I know people aren't putting up their photos in the hope that nobody else sees them, but jesus. I'm just trying to learn to light faces, I swear I'm not stalking your sisters, Internet!
