Football and flowery dresses

Wandering on the beach in the half warm, half freezing air. Snapping pictures left right and centre, I am blissfully unaware that later on that day, the football results would bring a dark cloud over the boy and thus... the entire day. *sigh*

I bought a book last week from my shop and it was called Hot Shots ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hot-Shots-Refresh-Your-Photos/dp/2888930277/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_1) Seriously, even as a photographer I have to say that I love this book.  Throughout university I made few friends due to my haphazard and candid approach to photography. My peers just thought me to be lazy. I look through the viewfinder only a handful of times during a shoot, the rest of it is guess work and chance.  If a shot is meant to be, it will happen. I trust in my ability to sense when a shot is coming, when that decisive moment is about to occur, that i rarely feel the need to actually look. Have you seen the advert where the blind guy is taking photos with his phone? He senses a shot is right by the sound, and the feel of the shot. Using all your senses, not just your eyes when taking pictures is what it is about.
