On Making Pictures

Howdy pardners!

After my Fossil Rim workshop, we spent about 20 minutes making pictures - about 5 minutes from the Ft. Worth Stockyards. We met this Native American on the busy main street at the Stockyards. The background there was bad. So, we found a cool, nearby location and made pictures like this one - which is actually one of my favorite pictures from the trip.

Always remember: there is a big difference between taking a picture and making a picture.

I made this picture with my Canon 5D Mark II and 28-105mm lens. (Opps! I posted this early saying that I took the shot with my 7D. Sorry. I always carry two cameras, and forgot which one I used to take this photo. Thanks for a reader for helping me to remember.)
