When you first start in photography, you’re taught to learn all the rules and how not to break them. You study how others do things and do your best to shoot with as few mistakes as possible (or at least not make ones that anyone notices). Then, you gradually shoot better and consistently, allowing you to make a living as a photographer. When it gets fun, you not only get to make mistakes intentionally, but you start looking for new ones to make. And you look for new views to see the familiar - capturing the usual in unusual and interesting ways.
The creative irony is that good or even great photography is all about mistakes and being able to repeat happy accidents. I’m super grateful that I get to do what I do and to look for new perspectives to see, capture and share!
Cheers, Dwayne.
