"The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality." ~Henri Cartier Bresson
This week the letter is "J" and I met the perfect subject. I met JEREMY, a "real" photographer, at the dog park near the International Airport. Many of the dog owners enjoy watching the airplanes takeoff and land on an adjoining runway while the dogs scamber with one another. I noticed JEREMY with a friend who was visiting from Wyoming for the express purpose to do a photo shoot. Both of the men were taking photos of the aircrafts, as I often do with my little point-and-shoot Canon. Their equipment acted like a magnet for me so I chatted with them for awhile. What I wouldn't give for lenses like they own!!

Cool shot.

ReplyDeleteI find myself more and more jealous of those beautiful cameras! And he seems to have a great one.
ReplyDeleteGreat to find a photographer named Jeremy!!!
I get lens envy also.
ReplyDeleteI want that camera!!!!
ReplyDeleteBresson, my photography hero. I one of those big lens girls(Nikon for me)and understand the draw to the photographer plying his trade. As a photographer too for a living I have to say I agree with Bresson the older I get about that moment. You captured the essence of the photographer perfectly for me.
ReplyDeleteHe has one serious lens there. The portrait you took is pretty darn good, itself.
ReplyDeleteNice portrait! I like your quote as well.
ReplyDeleteHe certainly does look serious! I bet he got some great shots!
ReplyDeletemore and more I see us taking photos of photographers.
ReplyDeleteyou have a good portrait series going. I enjoyed the raptor releases. I like Jeremy's lenses also. Thanks for your comments on my website regarding the slot canyon photos. I am glad you are enjoying them. I am sorry that you have been having a challenge with blogger. Hopefully it is now working. I have not had a problem. Hang in there as we all love to see your comments.
ReplyDeleteVery good portrait, he looks a real pro.
ReplyDeleteI reached happiness with my point and shot (more bridge than that) and don't ever think about going back to heavy bulky lenses.
It's obvious different for the pros, but I'm her for fun now...
Great photo of the photographer; I wonder if he got a shot of you.
