You see her, and it's sunny outside.

You know what's funny about memory? The fact that I don't feel like writing about it for yet another day. My friends page seems rife with loss and sentimentality today, so I'm going to resist the gestalt and try to write about something more fun, with the purely selfish goal of keeping my own spirits up

I love to take pictures myself, but they come out looking disastrous XD

Mine aren't disastrous... just repetitive.

I'm about where you are too. Good at taking pictures of things, but feel like that's getting old. Want to take more pictures of people, but have trouble with that. My main problem is I don't like posed pictures. I like to capture people when they are the most natural. But it makes me feel like a creeper, taking pictures of people when they might now be aware.

I've never used photoshop in my life, and I'm kinda too intimidated to even try it. I did buy a nicer camera tho, and that has helped my pictures turn out better.

I love erotic photgraphy ;-) I would be more than willing to let someone take photos of me, hehe.

I still love taking pictures of things. When I go on vacation or find a new collection of things (great tip with the cemetery, by the way), I go hog wild. But living in suburbs and not having any exciting local friends means that I tend to have a limited set of things to photograph -- flowers, leaves, geometric shapes I see. My lack of visual imagination hinders me greatly.

Posing doesn't bother me, except again I run into a lack of imagination. For poses to look good, I feel, someone has to be coming up with ideas for the shoot -- what it's "about," what you're trying to convey, or at least some idea of what the mess is supposed to look like. I've seen some stunning posed work from far superior photographers, and I'd like to imitate that in my feeble way. But it's hard enough coming up with someone to shoot, let alone something for them to be doing once you've got them.

And hey, next time you're in New York and don't mind riding a train for another two hours... :-)

I love taking pictures in cemeteries. But that is getting somewhat old for me. Probably mostly because they are all pretty much the same around here. If I were to travel somewhere and see something new and different it might excite me again.

My hubbs just recently did a photo shoot for an art show where he did a series of naritive photos w/ someone playing the part of snidely whiplash. They turned out awesome, and I'm pretty jealous. I don't have the courage to ask people to do stuff like that.

I had an idea once of taking photos of people mid-orgasm, and making a series of those... but id never have the balls to actually do something like that.

I love photographing anything natural, the more wilderness-y the better. When I hike somewhere spectacular, I'll lag behind and delay everybody so I can take hundreds of pictures (and also hopefully catch my breath). I've run out of new ways to look at the oak barrens around here, though, and while the beach is always nice, I'm running out of things to photograph there too.

I've been trying to think of what I would even do with a posed photo shoot if I had the opportunity (and presumably the courage). Aside from a few vague ideas -- in the Flint Hills of Kansas in springtime! in a Pacific Northwest tidepool! in some sort of period costume or other! -- I have no idea of what I would actually try to shoot.

I like getting out of the house and looking at everyday objects from interesting angles

I agree. I love paying attention to the details through photographs.

Erotic photography...can be really hot! I have had a lot of fun with this.

I abuse my macro setting like it's nobody's business. It would probably be good to vary it up a bit, though.
