I have conversations all the time about photography. I guess people see that I really do like to talk about it(I know sometimes too much). I remember years ago chatting with my sister's dad-in-law about photography and he kept mentioning the 'throw away pictures' and I was sort of puzzled by it. He loves to document family get togethers with posed group shots. Our family owes him a good bit of gratitude and thanks because he has done it diligently for years. Every year I get pictures of my family and I've seen many grow only from these photos. But he is serious about it and if some makes a face he calls those 'throw away pictures.' I laughed about this today because I usually say --thats the one! When I was toning up some pictures I took of very good friends who I've been neglecting because I was busy(Sorry E and R and A and E) I got to thinking how my sister's dad-in-law might think this was a throw away. I laughed again when I found myself suggesting this was the picture to use for the baby announcements they are planning to send out. I guess I see pictures and their use a little differently sometimes. But you have to admith this picture of little Emmy is pretty damn cute and funny. SayerMotter Photograph by Richard Sayer
I remember hearing a lot about "throw away pictures" too. But I have a really hard time doing it. I have a draw of duplicates that are bugging me and I know I must get rid of them. Do you want them?? Why do we need duplicates?
Anyway, I LOVE this picture of little Emmy. She is so special and precious. Would love to be able to hug her.
