imperfection - I accidentally jogged the ISO dial forcing the camera to compensate by slowing down the exposure. Imperfection at its best.

Go and read Michelle’s piece on Leaving the imperfections in.. Embracing imperfection, or at least not letting the fear of imperfection hold me back has been a struggle. Whether it is language learning, photography, or a technical demo at work, the desire for things to be perfect has always been present. It has taken a conscious effort to try and embrace the imperfections.

A friend recently asked me about photography.

“When you go out with your camera… has there ever been a moment that stayed with you more than the photograph itself? Something you saw or felt that couldn’t really be captured, but remained with you anyway?”

Thinking about this question got me wondering about what it is that I enjoy about photography. What follows is an edited version of the answer that I gave.
