I've been surprised by a couple of things...
First, I am surprised at how much I'm enjoying this whole thing! Granted, there have been plenty of nights where I've jumped out of bed at 11:30 and wandered my house looking for something to shoot but most of the time I'm so excited by the world around me I have something I love before lunch.
Secondly, As I'm sure you've noticed, I'm surprised by how much I have liked shooting in a square format. I started shooting everything with the standard camera then editing. After a couple of weeks I found myself shooting most often in a square right in Vignette. I suspect it's because I shoot everything professionally in the standard 2:3 DSLR standard so the square lets me see things differently...or it's because I'm a square.
I thought I'd celebrate the first month of The Project by showing you some of my favorite images that for one reason or another weren't a photo of the day. I feel like many of them are better than some of the images that made it but it's all about the day. If I make 5 great shots one day and 1 the next, that's how the cookie crumbles...mmmm...cookies...
Loving the photos, and can't wait for the director's final cut, but had to comment on the request for the origins of "Bated breath"...and yes...it's Bated, not Baited. Baited implies having some sort of lure. (I'd hate to think of how you'd bait your breath.) Bate comes from Abate, which means to reduce or lessen. Bless Shakespeare yet again for the origins of our language.
ReplyDeleteInteresting article to clarify. http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-bai1.htm
