Where The Action Is…

It's programmed into our DNA. The fight or flight mechanism. We hear a loud thunderous bang outdoors, the squeal of tire and break pressure, or a child's cry and we start running. Our minds tell us something is happening, something imminent in the moment is occurring. Drama. A photograph captures that moment, drama in time. With 20+ years of looking at photographs and I'm still asking myself, "Where's the action? What's exciting? Where's the drama?" There's nothing worse than having a beautiful subject and moment marred but the overabundance of negative space or noise in the background.
