Grass…My New High

Every since becoming a “photographer” I have learned a few lessons about human nature.

 

 

First, some people don’t like their images captured. They are suspicious of the motives behind the camera. Second, some people have something to hide so they will beat you up if you don’t ask permission. Third, be very very careful of your subject and always honor their wishes. Lastly, you are capturing someone’s soul so the relationship between photographer and subject should be honored.

So I’m licking my wounds and I’m taking pictures of grass for a while instead.

 

And mushrooms. It’s a great high man.

 

Grass is very photogenic and as long as you don’t smoke it, perfectly harmless to the photographer.

Perhaps all of us have skeletons in our closets, things we would rather not have other people know and somehow a photo would open that closet and prying eyes can see inside. Or perhaps we think a photo would misrepresent us in some way.

 

I get a rush when I see a great subject, so now grass is my new high.
