“Which of the photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow.” –Imogen Cunningham
I would have loved to meet Imogen Cunningham. Born April 12, 1883, she bought her first camera in 1901, at the age of eighteen. She was inspired by an encounter with the work of Gertrude Käsebier. Imogen Cunningham continued taking photographs until shortly before her death at ninety-three. She is known for her botanical photography, nudes and industrial landscapes. Now that is what I call versatile!
There’s a lesson to be learned here in versatility isn’t there. It is too easy to become tunnel visioned, even if that tunnel is rather lovely. I have a sunset fetish but whilst I’m looking for the sunset I’m missing something else.
I have to admit that since I have become interested in photography I am looking at the world a bit differently. I see potential shots all around me. How lovely!
Have a good day
With love

I agree wholeheartedly! A camera reminds us that there is more than one way to look at a moment. Sometimes there are too many details to take in at one sitting. What we miss can be recaptured when we look back! Thank you for your comments – you always make my day…

I agree – in fact, some artists, like Grandma Moses, found their calling “late” in life. So let’s keep rolling on….
