BEHIND THE SCENES, YET FRONT ROW

I was looking through a handful of pictures today, mostly work related

pictures.

October 29th, 2014

Some of them are scale shots, some are people. A lot are really

quick “Snap and Go” type shots of function rooms, doorway entrances, loading

docks, restrooms, and parking. Sexy, right?!?!

The BEST shots are the pictures that I take with my mind. Many times during

the middle of an event, I take the time to look at the expressions on attendees

faces. Sit in their seats. Try to see the show as an attendee would. It gives

me perspective. Some of the best shots in my mind are when I am standing behind

stage with a speaker or an act on stage and I can look into the crowd they are

presenting to. I like when a really great speaker has the audiences complete

attention. Focus. Eyes up. Waiting for the point to be made. Or when a

presenter is a “Wanderer” and people are following him/her like a sitting dog

watching his owner while their food is being made. Or elation when a band

finishes its song and the crowd erupts in cheer! These are the best pictures

for me.

So I guess there are two types of pictures. The ones I took and the ones I..... TAKE.
