The Questions - a photo on Flickriver

The Questions

If I let it grow and mature, worry could kill me by the end of a shoot. Fortunately, I don't fret too much, and when I do I usually ignore it so that I may have more fun.

But it's always there. Will she mind that I got her half soaked by a small waterfall? Will I mess up these shots, thus wasting this test film AND making Rebecca look bad? Should I keep shooting even though we've been here for 3 1/2 hours?

It could be enough to drive a normal man insane. I, however, am no ordinary photographer. I'm a six year old with cool toys and pretty girls. I can lie on the ground for a half an hour looking for the right shot and never be hung up on how that looks to the occasional passerby. I do what I want.

And with patience, many of your cares are laid to rest while the day goes on. When you only hear laughter, and you get to stand back and watch the wonder in a girl's eyes over the results of a shoot, you know that you didn't screw up (too badly) and that 3 1/2 hours was just right because she's eager to do the whole thing over again.

And a little water is no match for a warm summer's day.

**And lest I forget, Head here to get the details on the first issue of my magazine, "First Thing In The Morning" on Kickstarter. It's going well enough that I'm now planning how to photograph Rebecca for the second one.
