We're often told to shoot what we're passionate about. I'm fairly passionate about admiring the comely female form. Males are part of the background for me, and I just cannot imagine them as much other than props for females to lean against or something (pretty much how fashion shooters treat them too). So I'm not ready to shoot male nudes until (and if) I'm better prepared. Same with sports photography. I know nothing about sports, don't appreciate it or care for it at all. I couldn't shoot sports to save my life. You could say there's an imbalance there -- too many cats and women, not enough grunting jocks. So be it. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
