My latest blog post…

Photographing a subject or idea can be open ended, fun, creative, and unpredictable. Yesterday I was determined to get runners running on the famous HeartBreak Hill of the Boston Marathon course for a documentary project I’m working on. The temperature was in the single digits and watching the runner’s breath, I thought some frosted huffing and puffing, steam like breath might be cool. Instead, I ended up photographing a fireman, who’s engine responded to a runner in need. Once the runner was taken care of, this happy, fun loving fireman was like, “hey, what about my photo?” Low and behold, I got some great portraits of this fireman and can’t wait to add them to my, “On the job” Environmental Portrait collection.

The lesson here is to be loose, adaptable and responsive to the action around you. If I said no then this other impromptu situation would have been lost forever.
