When I 'do' an image, I do it purposefully intending to make something of it. It doesn't always work but when it does it pleases me greatly. This one for example http://boxesbellows.blogspot.com/2011/01/not-one-reply. The Images seen on my flickr stream are more the images I 'do'.

She marked as 'snaps' some of her most arresting images - many of them instantaneous responses to what she saw. No time to think. Just shoot. If you 'do' other types of photos is there something else in the 'doing' there that you don't 'do' in your snaps? And do you value them more for that? My first reaction was right. Your landscapes are fine - whether you 'do' them or not.<br />DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27382849.post-92066716780826233712011-01-31T11:25:12.291+01:002011-01-31T11:25:12.291+01:00I know.

But that's not true. You do. They are very good. They capture, more than the scene itself, your own feelings and attachments. There's a yearning that makes me feel I want to be there too.<br />DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
