I'd like to introduce you to one of the others. Like the other still small voices, I don't always listen to it. And I usually regret it when I don't. That voice I'm talkiing about is the corner of the photographers eye...you know...the corner of your eye that catches a scene and the photographer in you tells you "Oohh, that would make a cool picture!" as you do a double take of the scene. If I'm lucky, I'll actually have some sort of camera with me (see Chase Jarvis' " The Best Camera Is The One That's With You" ). And if I'm luckier still, I'll actually have time to stop and attempt a snap. Unfortunately, I can't count the number of times I passed up on the opportunity to take the snap, or I didn't trust in the small corner of my eye talking to me.
But on occassion, I did listen. Here are a few of the snaps I have taken in the past as a result of the Corner of My Eye.
This one was taken while we were in Dallas. My wife was at a training, so I had the kids with me as we walked in Downtown Dallas. As we were walking, the corner of my eye caught a glimpse of this cool building. As it was framed nicely between the trees, I told the kids to hold up, and after dealing with their "omg, dad, not another picture" sighs, I pulled my Nikon D70 up to my eye and snapped this shot. To this day, it is one of my favorites.
