Readers of my blog know that my favorite expression when it comes to photographing people is: "The camera looks both ways, in picturing the subject, we are also picturing a part of ourselves."

This post on Holy Kaw! relates to that photo philosophy.

So it makes sense that Botox can be bad for photographers. Remember: as a photographer, you are like a mirror - for the subject.

In the above photograph, which I took deep within the Amazon rain forest, the camera was looking both ways.

Explore the light,
