rescuing the wounded
This one's for all the monotone lovers :-D
I had such a completely different idea for this....I shot it as a little red riding hood shot, believe it or not. I thought everything had gone so well. I thought it had worked out just as I had planned. And I guess it did...except that it wasn't as great as i thought it would be. Something was just missing. I did about 5 different edits and nothing felt right. I sat on this image for a while. I didn't want to look at it.
Then, after yesterdays picture, I had an idea to layer in clouds as smoke or fog. It was just what I needed to push past the editing block. I went in a direction I had never intended, and I was finally happy. This new year is about pushing myself and trying new things, even when I have no faith in the outcome.
I am going to do that today. I drew up 2 sketches of what I wanted to shoot today, 2 versions of the same thing. I've decided to shoot the one that I find more interesting and also more challenging. I might come home with nothing, but then again, even when a photo doesn't work out, I don't come home with "nothing"....I've learned a lesson, which is often better than any image that I could have come home with.
