Window of Opportunity

I love photography!!! I know how I want an image to look like before I take it, but I can honestly say that I have no idea what Im doing 1/2 the time when I am behind the camera. I just take it and know I can do whatever I want in photoshop to get it closer to the images I have in my head. What I love about photography is that no matter where and when, one can capture the most interesting images through a tiny view finder, the window of opportunity.

What makes a photograph great/interesting to me is the composition ..the angle. Most great photos are taken by accident or coincidence, so just about anyone can take a few good photos in their lifetime. What makes a great photographer is one who can combine and crop or zoom into details we normally don't think of to make a pic more interesting; to actually want to look at it for a few seconds longer. My photography 101 professor had once said " a great image is one that can be viewed from all four sides and still look amazing".

Here are a few great photographers in NYC area I stumbled upon.
