right? (Willy’s going to kill me for using the word “gram”… and I’m not gonna lie, I kinda hate myself for using it too).
So you better believe we were “those people”. You know, those ones that walk with their phone out in front of them like it’s a metal detector looking for treasure. We were also those people that may have asked to use your umbrella for a few moments cuz’ it made a good photo prop. Sometimes ya just gotta be that person. Hooper and Van tagged along, so ya know, people have a hard time looking at you like you’re crazy with the munchkins in tow.
I try to learn from every photo situation I find myself in. Here’s what I added to the list today:
-Stop blaming the heat. Every time it’s hot, I blame it for zapping my creativity. When I’m in it and the sweat is dripping down my front and back, I use it as an excuse. When I get home and look at what the ol’ camera has on it, I think of at least 5 other great shots I could have done. In the comfort of my air conditioned home, the juices start flowing again. So, I need to get over the heat.
-Leave the kids at home. Sure, this doesn’t always work out. I would have loved to leave them behind for the couple hours that we were there but paying for a babysitter doesn’t always make financial sense and no one was around for me to leave them with. So, you do what ya gotta do. Maybe I could teach them how to fan me so I can get over the aforementioned.
