After a beautiful day out and about for Valentine's Day with my buddy, we stopped in at Barnes and Noble on the way home. Bill has been exploring HDR pictures - a special process to bring out the best color in a photo shoot situation. I had seen several books in the Digital Photography section and he wanted to skim them for more ideas. In the process, he walked over to me with a brand new book called STORYTELLERS: A Photographers Guide to Developing Themes and Creating Stories with Photos by Jerod Foster. New...brand new...and as I looked through it and began reading, I knew it was one that had to come home with me. So why this picture of leg warmers and boots?!? I understand that often when I take pictures and definitely ones of people and their shoes, I am sharing their story. This one I saw at the Whole Foods/Princeton Wellness Center cooking class the other day. I watched this woman stand to get her food tastes - what I saw was her in a different way - how she was expressing herself and her individuality by her garb. She was totally colorful! I know I am going to enjoy the Storyteller book and you will see/hear more about it as time goes on!! IF we hadn't stopped at B & N would I have ever heard about the book and/or discovered yet another way of seeing?!? Synchronicities abound!!
