Journal the Unexpected

Everyone knows and loved the Mystery Machine! This pic was taken just before Halloween, so I bet I know what this group of meddling kids was planning to be.

 

This shot is a little harder to make out since I was trying to capture both cars in the image. It's a Camaro SS with a tiny exact duplicate of the same car sitting toward the back of the engine. Carception? Or more like "Yo dawg, I heard you like Camaros so I put a Camaro in your Camaro so you can show off while you show off?"

One way to get great photos is through candid shots. As if you're making a visual journal, you can always just photograph random things throughout your day because if you see something weird, you might never see it again. Plus, Instagram and Facebook are great ways to share these little moments with other people! If you remember before the internet, you'd try to tell others about what you saw, but you could never get them to imagine it exactly and god forbid it was something too amazing to be believed!

Even candid shots of people can be the best photos. Capturing someone while they're not paying attention, but also when they aren't blinking or making funny faces, can lead to some fantastic natural shots that are often much more attractive and show more personality than any studio shot in the whole world.
