<p>For me, the camera is a way of making art. I am not a technician, though I admire those who are. I bore very easily. After the first few shots, I want to know what <em>else </em>I can do with the camera, with the lighting, with props, with the subject (wardrobe, or pose). In the moment when I am photographing a pretty woman, it is a bit like "love at first sight," a kind of intoxication with the capture of the image. I have the same experience when I <em>don't </em>have a camera, and just wish my eyes were a camera. (I know myself well enough not to mistake the visual delight with anything more significant, for those who get anxious with this kind of talk. :-) It is easy just to keep going for that moment of delight, and I often take several shots of the same pose, just to see if I can get a best of the bunch.</p>
