through the looking glass
Time for one about the actual photography. This is how to capture a moment and make the viewer go “whuh?”
The best model of camera is the one that you want to carry everywhere and it makes you want to use it. You take a photo or two every day just carrying it. Pretty soon your eyes are seeing photos everywhere. “Gotta get that shot!” Your friends go “oh no, the camera again.” After a while you’re walking around with the camera ready to shoot right then in case you miss something. And that’s when you get shots like this.
