Making It Happen
Landing in the Rain

I got back today (Sunday, 1st November) and feel really tired, so my post will be a little shorter than usual, I think.
I’ve been on holiday this week and trying to set up a session with a model for next week. The emails are going back and forth – I’ll be really busy all week, so fitting it in will be hard. ‘cos time is short, I’ll be photographing at a park in town – which again affects the kind of shoot it will be … and so on. In some ways this is a good thing, I work best when I have limitations placed on me – too much choice and I don’t know where to start. I want it to happen – but like so much in photography, it requires a determined effort – to make it happen. I know some people are inclined to go all mystic about photography and talk about “flow” and responding to the situation, but quite often I think it is about being proactive and creating the outcome you want. If I ever write a how-to photography book, that would be the title.
