As a child, my family had a saying that always came at times of unknown. When someone failed to arrive home, my Nana would say, "I shutter to think what's wrong."
"I shutter to think what will happen to that boy!" would be the comment about a toddler that climbed onto the tractor and rode it across the road, passed the bar ditch, into the neighbors field before anyone noticed either were missing.
As I pick up the camera, I don't know what will happen...I shutter to think!
It does make me think. Where's the light; what's the composition; what's going to be revealed; is this anything new or different; why is this important to capture and share? Then, just like at Christmas, I import them from the camera into LightRoom 2 and anxiously await to see the surprise gifts.
My train of thought goes back to "shutter to think" and how it makes my knees quiver with the excitment that each shutter might actually capture an accurate moment in time. Awesome.
