Freddy's Photos - 10-11-12/52

Sneakers and Spas - what else could a girl want?

While I was spending my time refreshing the creative needs at a spa, I forgot to find time to write, so I'm cheating this week and combining a couple of fantastic sights over the past few weeks into 1 post.
 As a sneaker head - I choose my shoes carefully based on a few factors (1) colour (match the outfit) (2) comfort (3) the last time they've seen the light of day. I believe my sneakers say a lot about me. They are colourful, unique, and I always seek out something I've never seen before. I find the more I'm shooting similar situations, I approach it the same as I do my sneaker choices. (1) colour (2) comfort - how does the photo make me feel? (3) when was the last time I took a photo like this? bonus points for the answer "never".
And what do spas have to do with photos? I think spas have to do more with taking some time out of always being connected to my devices than the actual art of photography. After 3 days of heavenly departure from the real world, I was glad to have my camera back. I appreciated it a lot more, and was excited to be able to capture the images that I love. It also put me in such a calm mood, I was able to approach a busy shooting schedule with a lot of energy.  Everyone, regardless of their own pursuits, should always take time to breathe and recharge - and buy a new pair of sneakers.
