She has a splendid eye. I really like the desert shot too and you are right, she really does let you see her subjects in a very special light, even when they are not seeing her.Rubiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489017422221346200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-40701133058821670642008-02-26T19:30:00.000-08:002008-02-26T19:30:00.000-08:00Yay for Mimi Ko!

The quality and creativity involved in their presentation has such a fun, playful spirit to it. Often I wish I had a set of postcards or greeting cards with Poppet images on them. Hmmm.....Carl V.

I know what you mean. After the lighting and the composition, there's still a lot of 'whatever.' I suspect the difference between good photographs and great ones is to be found in there.<BR/> For me, the trick is to shoot lots of frames. Some factor involving monkeys and typewriters comes into play then, and I get a good one.lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410230007560550179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-15153300355184827222008-02-25T08:10:00.000-08:002008-02-25T08:10:00.000-08:00I'm trying it a different way...I'm trying working...I'm trying it a different way...I'm trying working WITHOUT a skill I once had...talking.

And the reality of the photos never seems to really suit the unreality of my writing in a way that makes sense to myself or others. I'm not saying its impossible, but I just don't understand enough about photography to make it work for myself... yet.Derek Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555485192723965604noreply@blogger.com
