Keeping a photo project going is not easy, I found that many times I “force” the images by going out looking for things to shoot… and often times I’m not entirely satisfied with the results. Most of the images that I like are the ones that I just happen to see, being in the right place at the right time 🙂
I was on the pavement near the intersection of Regent Street and Avenue of the Republic when I noticed the reflection of City Hall in the flooded pavement and road near to me, I actually had my camera in hand and tried to compose a few shots between people walking by me, and vehicles splashing the waters occasionally.
Some people can go out and “make” the photos, others are just the instrument that is manoeuvred into the right place at the right moment to see and capture what is shown to them 🙂

An observer with an acute eye? I do agree that you can’t really force the vision, but sometimes you have to stimulate it a bit, by going out to the places where nice scenes come together. On the other hand, being in the right place at the right time is the easiest way to get good stuff 🙂
Stimulating it I understand 🙂 but sometimes it just feels forced… and I can’t seem to shake that feeling when it’s there.
