My missed opportunity is something that is a lot broader than just one particular event or project. I always seem to miss out on the human aspect in my projects. I just don’t like taking pictures with people in them and so I often have a problem where there is that connection missing in the series.
Anytime I ever incorporated people in my pictures they were very uncooperative or looked very posed. I would like to include more people in my pictures but I guess I just still have a negative connotation with it. I don’t mind taking pictures of strangers but I find that I get skittish once they begin to glare at me and I am more comfortable taking pictures of them when they don’t notice me.
I once did a project where I was taking pictures of people sleeping on the subway but I had to take them on my iPod touch and the pictures didn’t come out as well as they would have on my DSLR. I wished I had the guts to just take the heat for taking their picture.
As I mentioned in my response to Ruby, your willingness to look at what you need to improve is exactly what will help you grow.
