You Decide....

Question: Shouldn't pictures taken with an expensive 8 mega-pixel camera, with a kick-butt lens look awesome? Cameras that nice, it really shouldn't matter WHO is really taking the pictures...right? Well, since it is totally impossible for me to always be the photographer (plus I want to be in some of the shots) I get Jon to fill in as guest-photographer. The only thing is that he has a very different EYE than myself. He truly believes that beauty is SUBJECTIVE, and that candid shots are ALWAYS the best.

Since I agree that Art, and beauty are subjective, I've decided to let our families decide which pictures present us in the best possible light!

Now, posed pictures can look contrived and unnatural at times, but they don't always have have to be unnatural.

Now I know that my photos are not going to win any photo awards...but I do think I see a difference in how we choose to portray the ones around us....just saying.
