I am naturally a very anxious person, I do not have much control of my emotions especially when I am in a giant expectation for some new situation or when I happen to be expecting some news or someone's return on something that interests me. I start to sweat cold, my hands stay sweating, I begin to gnaw my nails and the "cold in my belly" is constant. Impatient, I stay pacing back and forth. I know it's something that I have to work on to be able to control and the photography has helped me a lot in this, especially the street photography.
All people want to see what's going on
In the street moments happen when we least expect it, then our reaction to that action must be fast, but at the same time if we are not calm, the image can go out of focus or badly framed and then we can be sorry. This is the exercise I've done daily in my daily photography and that's what I quoted in my previous post yesterday that is; Stop, look around, analyze the scene and click. This mantra as I quoted too has helped me a lot to control my anxiety and be more precise and objective in my photos.
Despite this, after 4 years, the same anxiety I felt the first time I went out on the street to photograph still feel to this day but this anxiety I am aware that it is only an expectation or a request to heaven for everything to happen well, for that I can capture good pictures, the scenes can happen in front of me and that I can have the courage and the daring enough to perpetuate them.
We are giants and we don't even realize it
It is a prayer, where I ask for protection and creativity
