Slowly I'm coming to another photographic realization. If I am going to to take some of the photos that I'm realizing that want to be taking. I am going to have to create them. The degree of creation may vary from image to image. But I will have to become more active.

As of now I'm a pretty passive photographer. I mostly move around to see if there is something I like and then snap away. Many of my friends pay little to no mind to the camera in my hands. A few will will mug/vogue/smile/pose when the they find they are the target. While these can be fun and make for some decent candid photos from time to time it's still not quite what I want to get.

If I'm going to get some of the shots I want I'm going to have to create them. I'll have to ask people to do things, to hold still, to do that again, move shoulders, look over there, turn, move over here or there, to pose. This is all very strange to me. Nearly entirely opposite from my current method of moving around and/or waiting. I'm just going to have to find a way and some people to make these things happen with so I can become more comfortable with creating an image rather than finding one.

I've got a few theories as to why I work how I work but those are neither here nor there.
