To zoom or not to zoom, that is the question. Close-up, wide-angle, low profile, or high POV are some of the other perspectives I try to work on when framing a shot or thinking up of a subject. Keeping the flash on for some sharper images or turning it off to capture some warmer shots is another dilemma any photographer worth their weight in bologna tries to weigh in composing the picture. Shooting the same subject with a variety of different lenses makes for unique stories and brings about the challenge of improving on a daily basis. Years ago, I never understood why anyone would lug around a backpack stuffed with camera accoutrements and constantly switch out lenses while chasing his kids around the zoo. These days, I am that guy and struggle with the best of them all for the chance to capture a perfect moment in the lens. Thinking that it would made a fun little subject, I put together a few of my lenses and tried to make the picture takers become the pictures themselves. Whether or not I achieved that particular goal, it was neat to stage them in a way that makes me imagine more of the photographs that can come from them as I keep moving forward to become better at my craft.
