I was inspired by a picture post on a photography forum that I belong to. The photos this fellow photographer posted were fantastic! FAN. TAS. TIC. I asked her if she would mind me having a go at it and she was nice enough to give me a few tips, too.
Well. I tried it today.
And then? I tried it again.
And again.
And then once more.
I just wasn't feeling it and I was beginning to get frustrated. Near the point of tears...(that's just me)
Why isn't this working?! Why can't I get this?! Why don't my fruits look like her fruits?! WHY?!? For the love of all that's chocolate, why?! Why can't I do what she did?!?!
Why? Because I'm not....her.
Although I LOVE her images? I gave up on it. I just couldn't get it because it simply wasn't MY EYE. I tossed my set up to the side and decided to shoot what I see. Silly as it may sound? I figured out through fruit that I can't be someone else...I don't see what other people see...I am ME and this is what I see.
