Picture This

So I had a mini photo shoot last week. It was pretty cool, but I know I could never be a professional model. For one, I definitely do not have the poise of a model and I can be deathly awkward in front of the camera. I prefer to be behind the lens, although I‘m still just a novice photographer. I want to be the one to capture the moment. I’ve come to the realize that pictures today are not about capturing a moment but selling an idea. Most people post pictures of themselves to plant an idea. Paint a picture of who they are or rather who they want others to believe they are. They want to seem cool, fun, exciting or perhaps rugged, daring, whatever. I want stills of a moment. Whether it be a couple making kissy faces in the park, kids playing on the playground, a woman smiling as she reads a novel on the train or a guy bopping to the music blasting from his headphones. I zeal for those random moments, they are the best!  Anyway, here are a few shots of that day:

BTW, my homie Sean was the photographer of the day once again. He was real patient and down for whatever, which made it a lot easier. Hope you guys enjoyed, have a beautiful day! XoXXoXXo
