I spend a lot of time taking my photographs outdoors. This is funny to me that my best photos come from outdoors and from natural lighting when I am the worst outdoors person there is. I am terrified of anything smaller than a bird that flies. I think I feel safer with the lense in front of me and being able to look at life the way it is supposed to be seen. Plants, animals, insects all have their purpose but its hard for me to see unless I have my camera in front of me. It's bizare to have such an attachment to a piece of equipment but, alas I confess. I wouldn't step close to a bee, spider, or anything else but with my camera I can take a shot of one and really see it, granted from a distance, but I get the chance to understand. I am made fun of frequently about my squeals of horror over flying insects or creepy crawlers. Who knows perhaps this feeling of safety behind the lense will build a sense of security in the real world with these flying demons.
