\"Louis<\/a>So here’s an odd aspect of Photography:\u00a0 At some point, you will often take photos of someone else’s creations.\u00a0 Maybe you’re photographing of architecture, or a sculpture in a broad landscape.\u00a0 That landscape may have been man-made, created by someone hired to create such a landscape.\u00a0 Maybe in that landscape, there’s a brilliant example of Beaux-Arts architecture. It’s all a bit meta, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

It’s actually an aspect of photography that I love.\u00a0 I love details.\u00a0 I love celebrating the little things that perhaps someone created for the enjoyment of others like themselves:\u00a0 Someone who pays attention to details.\u00a0 That is why I might point my lens at interesting and tiny facets of architecture, art, or even graffiti while I’m on vacation.\u00a0 My family will poke fun at me for it, but they’re pretty much used to it by now.\u00a0 In fact, I believe my kids are starting to pay attention to details more often themselves.\u00a0 Details matter.\u00a0 It’s what defines us as humans, and it should be celebrated.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Noticing details is the real struggle here.\u00a0 One has to train oneself to look for details.\u00a0 You can’t just look around; you have to train yourself to look for specific things.\u00a0 It starts with things that interest you.\u00a0 For example, as a Landscape Architect and Lighting Designer, I have quite an appreciation for interesting and well-designed lights.\u00a0 When I see them in the wild, I’m drawn to them, and I find myself capturing lights often in my photos.\u00a0 Sometimes they are the primary subject, but other times I make them part of a larger composition.\u00a0 Specific types of architecture may appeal to you.\u00a0 Or maybe you have a keen eye for tiles or signs.\u00a0 It doesn’t really matter what details appeal to you.\u00a0 But when you are noticing and photographing those details, give them the respect they deserve.\u00a0 After all, some detail-oriented individual like yourself created those nuggets for people just like you to notice.<\/p>\n
