All great shots Damon but, I wouldn't have guessed the last one was yours.....

How long have you been in Shanghai, are you looking forward to going back to Washington??

[damonff]

Hey Gubbs. Thanks. Yeah, the last one's not really my style; I took it for a challenge in another forum - "my city." I need to come up with something more original...I've been here for a year and I'm sad to leave but looking forward to being back in Washington.

[gubbs]

I'll miss the Shanghai shots, you got any more travel plans??

[damonff]

Not as yet but I've a hankering for India...

Damon,

What I've learned (and continue to learn) from your work is to not worry so much about getting the shot "right". I mean, I want crisp, well composed shots. I guess I like to control my shots. You show how letting go can make for a more powerful shot. Not that your shots aren't well composed or thought out, but there's a free and easy, johnny on the spot creativity to your work that is impressive.

I know that I need to improve my techinical skills, learn how to get the shot right when I want to (at least on a more consistent, reliable basis), but I also need to just let the shot flow sometimes.

Thanks for the inspiration.
