If you want to see some great photos check out v-spec and his Flickr photos. This shot here is just one of his nearly 300 amazing photos.
V-spec’s candid shots are beautiful, he also has a series of “sTREET” photos where he has obviously approached people on the street and asked them permission. I wish I was forward enough to do that… so any times I have seen a great shot or a group who look just right, only to walk on by and let the moment pass.
I have to become more adventurous. Since I received my new camera I take it practically everywhere and yet I seem to be getting more and more shots of Bungee than anything else.
Suck it up kid… I guess that’s my advice to myself. Our life is what we make it, if I keep standing in the background I’ll always be a rock in the school play.
Note: I was never really a rock in the school play. I was once a major role, who during rehersals got stage fright and was replaced, only to become a henchman. I should have learnt back then I guess.
You’d make a very strapping tree… If only you’d “branch” out… boom boom
I need to actually start taking my camera out with me, so many times of late I think to myself “Man, that’d be an awesome shot, shame I don’t have my camera with me”.
Noone to blame but myself I guess, and I agree, get out there, be more assertive, even if I can’t follow my own advice. I hate approaching strangers.
You have an awesome eye for what looks brilliant in a photograph, I’m jealous as hell. But at least when you’re rich and famous, I can say “Jamie? Oh I know, he’s fabulous, and I’ve known him for years, he’s a great friend.” :)
ROFL… planning a stint in stand-up?
I’d love to see more pics from you… every day I see stuff on Flickr which makes me gasp, it’s a beautiful (and sometimes ugly) world we live in and each of us captures it in a unique way.
It’s great to see all perspectives.
I’m more a breakfast radio type comedian :P
I agree, and I really need to start taking my camera with me. Which means I need to find it first. I’ve not used it since we first arrived here. Naughty!
