A few years back I did a slide show for a local camera club. I
projected three 80-picture trays which represented 5 or 6 years of
my work as a photojournalist. The only questions I received at the
end of the show were along the lines of "what kind of equipment do
you use?"
I love this so much it makes me want to cry.
I specialize in infant and children photography and if it doesn't
sound braggish, I'm pretty good at it. I make a lovely living and I
have a ball. Mostly, though, I absolutely love what I do.
A couple weeks ago I was photographing a newborn in my studio. Mom and
Dad were both at the session.
Mom was in the nursery feeding the baby. Dad and I were in the studio
visiting. He enjoyed a slideshow I have looping on one of my computers
then walked around to each of the very large portraits I have hanging
on the studio walls and looked at each one very closely.
Eventually he sat down, looked right at me and said, "Either you have
the best subjects in the world or you have one hell of a camera."
I told him it was definitely the camera.
