You Stay, I'll See You Back At The Hotel

Some would call it a curse. I say it's a good curse, a very good curse. Here's what David Burnett had to say about the good curse. It's soooo true.

In the digital photography age, we sometimes forget that great pictures are usually made by hard working, dedicated photographers who already see the world with a vision far apart from the rest of society. There is no question that few things are more tedious than for a non-photographer (you could insert "wife" or "daughter" here) to walk around any ole place with someone who can't help looking at the scene around them as if it were a photo op arranged by God and to be discovered on that stroll. We stop, we squint as we try and compose, we halt for a second to see if the light is right, if the shadow falls in the grooviest place. It's not exactly a simple meander, but one accented by all kinds of stops and starts, and often punctuated by "you can stay if you want, I'll see you back at the hotel."

David and his wife, Iris, have a blog called: We're Just Sayin. No photos - yet - but we do enjoy the conversations. Check it out for yourself.
