Day 116: Playing with Puppy




I know this is not an award winning photo or anything, but every time I see it, it makes me smile. It was hard for me to pick a photo for this week. I have a ton of really good ones of different animals, but I still keep coming back to this one. It got me thinking about what photography is really about. Is it about the perfect exposure, focus, composition, or processing? No. I realized it is about making you or your clients smile. Your client most likely has no idea what any of those terms mean, what they do know is that when they look at a shot that makes them smile, it doesn't matter if it is technically perfect. That's how I feel about this one. Sure there are some problems, but it makes me remember how much fun we had that day! See what photos other people have chosen at i heart faces.
