We Only Photograph What's Familiar


Someone once said, "We only photograph what is familiar."

Or so I thought :-)

Katrin Eismann just sent me this via twitter: Nathan Lyons said, "We only photograph that which we recognize."

Well, I was close.

I am not sure I agree 100 percent with that statement, but I do find some truth to it. For example, the heart in both of these scenes drew me to make the photographs.


What do you think? And what do you photograph? Post a comment here.
