Brian’s PhotoPile

Some of my friends like to tell me what to take pictures of. Tom does that. I don’t really mind much, after all I am visiting him, accompanying him on a ride out in the country. Once in awhile, his vision opens my eyes/mind to something new. However, I feel that I’m humoring him. I’ve thought of trying to convince myself that I’m working with a great director and need to bring about his vision, but haven’t been able to do that yet. So I take his pictures, accumulating images that differ from what on my own I would have taken.  This presents a slight problem in my archive. I feel I have to label his so that in the distant future, if I go back to this days shoot I won’t find myself complimenting myself on what a beautiful picture I took long after I forgot Tom told me to take the photo. Here’s a picture of Tom telling me I should stand where he is and frame this picture just like so and so. So I do it and this is what I come up with. I don’t think it’s all that great and it probably doesn’t even come up to what he was seeing. It’s always an adventure riding with Tom.
