But, I like how you switched back and just enjoyed it. For what it's worth, I like all your photos already. The one with the road in focus and you out of focus could even be considered artistic, and we could discuss for hours the significance and why the subject, looking over her shoulder as she walks away (or leads the viewer?), is blurry ;) :) Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09215252781676585946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547997594775142824.post-71615827684391498182014-02-27T16:30:38.098-08:002014-02-27T16:30:38.098-08:00 Thank you!!

I think the most wonderful, glorious thing about photography is they way it enables one to capture, record, distort, and completely change reality. Depending on your mood, you get to be a documentarian, an artist, or some glorious combination of the two. Go learn the ins and outs of your new tool, because that's all it really is. Photography is a craft of never-ending possibilities that you will never, ever fully master. Embrace the trial and error, experimentation, and discovery. It'll soon be your favorite part as well, I swear.Amanda @ willful/joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14107748858703894148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547997594775142824.post-1541886577127032522014-02-27T12:04:26.496-08:002014-02-27T12:04:26.496-08:00Yay!!!
