I think this quote is so true. Once you become a photographer it seems that your eyes see more and appreciate the world around you just a little bit more. Looking through the viewfinder of a camera opens your eyes to beauty that you might not have noticed before, a spider web or maybe a drop of dew on a blade of grass. You just seem to notice these things more than before you picked up a camera for the first time. It is strange, though, because as photographers, we often travel to distant locations to get pictures of wonderful landscapes, architectural marvels, etc. when there are beautiful and interesting subjects in our own towns. This is a picture of an old, historic courthouse. I've lived in this area for many years, but had not taken a picture of the courthouse until I was doing an assignment for a client last year. Sometimes the things that are closest to us are the last things we think to photograph. So, take advantage of this 4th of July week-end, grab your camera and photograph some wonderful things in your own town. Then post them on Facebook, so we can all enjoy them.
Have a safe and wonderful 4th of July with your friends and family.
