Such a curse it is to notice the little things all the time. As a photographer, I get distracted by so many little things. A week or so ago, a glint of light caught my eye, and I followed it to a leaf, then spent the next half hour photographing it. Recently when a woodpecker turned up in the tree in my backyard, I spent nearly half the day stalking it with my camera. Whenever I see something, I usually drop whatever I was doing at the time to catch that perfect moment. I see so many things in my daily life that would make great photos. I guess that's why I created this blog.
Today, while cutting my cucumber, a typically everyday mundane thing, I noticed the water beading on the top. Forgetting my salad completely, I grabbed the camera. The scene in my kitchen looked something like this: My daughter walks in to see my brandishing a cucumber under the skylight (to get the best light, of course), with the camera in my other hand, and yelling at the dog to get out of the way, because he kept walking into the shot. Very confused, she asked, "Uhhh, what are you doing?". All I could tell her is that she had a very weird mommy.
