'Somedays you eat the bear, somedays the bear eats you!' Today wasn't a stellar day for me behind the lens of my nikon. I shot a parade, a trail and some little wrestlers and when I got done and was looking over my pictures I felt almost as if I didn't take any of them. I won't say this is the first time this has happened to me, but it was the first in a long time. I don't think I took a photograph today--other than my fun sketches with my phone. I guess it happens, but I always try to live by the idea that you're only as good as your last photograph---a philosophy that works to keep us striving to make good photographs each time we press in the shutter---there is no such thing as 'only a snapshot!' I wrote on my student's syllabus this semester that 'every photograph should be considered.' Today I needed to remind myself of this I think--though I felt like I was trying to consider each image--the results seem to argue that perhaps I didn't. phone photos by Richard Sayer.
