Inspiration

Currently, I'm on spring break.  However, I'm one of the only students who stayed in Springfield over the break, (mainly because I'm from Springfield and I don't have the money to venture outside of this small town prison) so my days and nights have been filled with lots of coffee, some how mixed with lots of sleeping, and inevitably; lots of boredom.  On the other hand though, I finally finished a book that I started reading last September, and I've had plenty of time to work on perfecting my photo taking and editing skills.   Clearly they are no where near perfect yet, but I'm tryin'.  To help with the perfection process, I went to Barnes and Noble book store and picked up a copy of Chris Orwig's book People Pictures.  Now I'm not usually a fan of "how-to"books, but I can't put this one down.  In the book, he doesn't focus on the camera and it's endless amount of gears, gadgets, and gizmos, but instead he explains to the reader how to capture a persons essence in a single frame, how to captivate and move hearts with photography, and how to scope out the perfect picture in a subject.  Reading Orwig's book has been inspiring and revived my passion for photography.  Every one who is even interested in photography should get a copy of this book.  It's just that good (and I'm only on the 4th chapter!)
