Warming Up
Friday, April 20th, 2007
Steve Simon has an interesting post at Inside Aperture on Warming Up.
I think for any activity where we expect to be “on” we need to warm up before the “on” time. Dancers know this as do jugglers and actors and performers of all types. Thinking of photography as “performance” isn’t far off the mark, not to put extra pressure on ourselves, but to better understand one of the reasons why we can have a “bad hair day” with our cameras. Warming up is one more way to help us get closer to “on” when we want to be.
I really like this idea and I’m going to try the improvisation exercises Steve recommends.
