Somewhere.



This is an unedited photo shot with my iPhone...

Do you think it true what he says about "The Best Camera Is The One That's With You"?  You know, ever since hearing of that concept, I can't quite get it out of my head.  I can never decide if I wholeheartedly embrace that mantra or not. I want to embrace it, but its a little scary to let go.  Equipment can be a crutch.  "My images aren't great, because I don't have a good camera or the right lens." Sometimes, I just stop looking.  Its an easy out.  Images are little snapshots of what we see and how we see it.  Why stop looking just because "the good camera" is at home?  You don't need fancy equipment to see things from an interesting perspective.  Look at life upside down or sideways or macro or micro or globey.  Just keep looking.  And keep shouting with what you see.

Bonus challenge: can you figure out how I made this image?

Its definitely a reflection of the sky but I can't tell what its reflecting off of... Something round.. I want to say a glass of liquid or a lens or something.
