When you start photography (digital, not necessarily film), you shoot for numbers. The statistics are in your favor. You shoot and experiment and see what turns out. If you like it, you keep it. If you don’t, delete.
They say however that when a photographer reaches a certain point, they become one with their camera; they know their camera so well that the image is already captured and finalized before the camera is ever touched. That one image is all that they will ever need.
It’s a moment of clarity and inspiration that is a huge step in the development of a photographer’s abilities and career.
This was that image for me.
The very first image where for that split second before the composition and the click, I knew in my mind what I wanted in the image, and how it would look.
It is now one of my favorite images of all time, one of my inspirations to keep my photography skills going.
And I couldn’t be any happier =)
