I've had a sneaking feeling that drive by shooting would be similar to taking a ride at a Disney park (You expect something interesting).<BR/><BR/>I usually park my brain in neutral when riding in a car.

Sometimes, the more dips there are in the road the more fun it is. <BR/><BR/>I am a prime case of someone who needs to keep the fun part in perspective. I always enjoy shooting, but find it more challenging to just get crazy and make wild choices knowing that almost everything will get tossed.<BR/><BR/>I love the image of your throwaway camera shots.

We all have to remind ourselves not to be so serious about image making sometimes - probably the reason people don't like giving me disposable cameras at weddings - they end up with too many under the table shots and partially cropped faces. :-)Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324591166838241161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-91891742328427674192009-03-13T14:35:00.000-07:002009-03-13T14:35:00.000-07:00Rakesh - Did you find my site through Paul Lester?...Rakesh - Did you find my site through Paul Lester?

Play. Also, lack of attachment. You said that the more that you put into the shot, the harder that it was to delete shots and the more wounded you'd feel if things didn't work out.<BR/><BR/>When you let go and have fun, you always seem to come back home with some type of surprise in the package.
