Anjali's Photo Gallery II

The smelt was incidental when our grand-daughter Anjali paid a visit to the Seattle Aquarium recently. She was more interested in the light on the reeds.

Yup, she's getting there. I'd suggest a title that provides an expression of what is going on to the artist in the photo composition. There is no communicated context in a nature photo other than what is suggested or obvious.

Brian, thanks for noticing. We haven't had time to review the great photos you sent me, but I do ask her about the ones she does...She just sees stuff, interiors, colors ...does not plan or think, just snaps.

George-Anjoli’s Photo Gallery should become a regular feature. Spontaneity and a good eye are a winning combination for a photographer.

She might enjoy joining a camera club, particularly one that has monthly competitions. Seeing the work of others, and having her work critiqued, is a terrific learning experience. It is nice to get good scores, but that is secondary.

Most camera clubs have monthly themes, which encourage the photographer to look at things creatively. The photos that Brian posted are an excellent example. Most people would go through a dilapidated building and only see a mess. A photographer sees art and beauty.

People often ask a photographer what camera did they use, or what camera should they buy to get good pictures. It’s not the camera!

"The day after my 80th birthday, which overflowed with good wishes, surprises and Covid-safe celebrations, I awoke feeling fulfilled and thinking that whatever happens going forward, I’m OK with it. My life has been rewarding, my bucket list is empty, my family is thriving, and if everything ends tomorrow, so be it.
"Not that I expect to do anything to hasten my demise. I will continue to exercise regularly, eat healthfully and strive to minimize stress. But I’m also now taking stock of the many common hallmarks of aging and deciding what I need to reconsider."

"People have said to me, ‘You’re fully vaccinated. Why are you being so careful?’” said Dr. Robert M. Wachter, professor and chair of the department of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. “I’m still in the camp of I don’t want to get Covid. I don’t want to get a breakthrough infection.”
