Quote for the day:
I never have taken a picture I’ve intended. They’re always better or worse.-Diane Arbus
I can certainly identify with this quote. I don’t know if I would say never but I often find that the same is true with the photographs I make. The ones I am sure will turn out great often fall short. It is often the ones that I do not initially feel strong about that become some of my most powerful images. I am not sure if I should be doing anything to change this or if I should just embrace it.
I would love to hear from you photographers out there. Do you find this to be the case with your photography.

For sure. Disappointment or pleasant surprise- What was I thinking? Doesn’t help, oh well…..I ll take it.
I believe in SERENDIPITY. You have to try, and in doing so you stumble on the thing that works. However, if you are not prepared, you get nothing.
I agree, Colin, we do get better with experience and better prepared in the process.
Thanks for adding to the discussion guys.
