I am not a good photographer. You know how sometimes you’ll cut off the head of a subject, or maybe the feet? Well, I cut out people’s middles. That is not as easy as it sounds. It takes a sincere lack of talent and ability to take, what my friends and family call, the worst pictures in the history of photography. Put it this way… Remember that iconic photo of the sailor kissing the nurse in Times Square when WWII ended? I would have missed the shot and only caught the slap that followed the peck. Lee Harvey Oswald being shot by Jack Ruby? Through my lens it would have looked like they were hugging it out. Annie Liebovitz would come to my house and beat me with a flash pod. So where can a guy like me get some help, some tutelage in the art of capturing the images of what the eye sees?
