Too often as photographers, we set out to take the “perfect photograph.” This task proves to be impossible as perfection–much like beauty–is in the eye of the beholder.
St. Philips Church – Charleston, SC
Alexander Hamilton said, “I never expect to see a perfect work from an imperfect man.” This resonated with me and reminded me that photography isn’t about being perfect, it’s about capturing that moment in time. We could all learn a lesson from Mr. Hamilton and embrace the imperfections both in ourselves and our work and perhaps we’ll be happier in doing so.
Thanks for stopping by today! As always I love hearing your thoughts!
Wise words and wonderful image.
Thank you so much, Edith! You’re too sweet.
Nice one Erin. I’m always a fan of bw images.
Thanks, Chris! I’m a fan as well and thought it was rather fitting for this image.
Lovely image today Erin. I think the words in this post are very fitting for this image, since the church steeple itself is “imperfect” in that it has a slight lean to it. Good stuff.
It’s funny that you should mention that; it seemed that no matter what I did, I couldn’t get that darn steeple to look straight! That’s one of the reasons I chose that particular quote.
