INTO THE SUN


... most photography primers will warn that you should "keep your back to the sun," and that "bright sunlight is the worst time of day for picture taking" ... i imagine that hidden in the footnotes they also advise "there's nothing to be found investigating fire hydrants" ... as far as i'm concerned, however, in disregard of all conventional advice concerning the art and science of photography, i find it important that at times you let your sense of humor direct your vision ... after all, a fire hydrant at the edge of the sea, how could i resist ...


... p.s. ... also, those books also tell you to "never put the center of interest dead center in the viewfinder" ... my rule:  "you want to learn about photography, study the pictures first" ...
