Let me first say that I am not a photographer. I wish I had more skills in this area but most of the time the photos I take are just point and shoot and hope that there are no little fingers or cat tails in the way.
But today I needed to take some serious photos. For a serious project. So, I gathered my gear and put my head together as best as I could.
The lighting—overcast sky—perfect.
The props and the equipment—steadfast and serviceable.
The assistant—essential. I don’t know why she picked that hat. Maybe she thought we were going out to photograph animals?
Now I’ll weed through 60-odd photos and hope I shot one that will serve the design well. A good original is worth far more than countless hours of photo-editing. Too bad there wasn’t budget to hire a professional photographer to obtain said original. So there will be some photo-editing involved. But hopefully with a little skill and a little luck we’ll end up with a solid finished project. As my old boss, Bob, used to say, “Even a blind squirrel can hit one in ten.”
