The Subject Photographs the Photographer

Say what? I'm going to be exhibiting photography at the Toms River Library? I think I need to pinch myself because I've never exhibited my shots. As much film as I've shot over the years, it's a little nerve wracking.  Of all the mediums I've explored in my life, I think I'm the most critical of my photography. There's a weird shadow! A distracting line in the background! I don't like that he has words on his shirt! I don't think the expression looks right!

In an attempt to add more to the show, I've set up a series of photo shoots with different people. I can't wait to get that call that the film is done. Yesterday afternoon I shot some pictures of my very flexible, bendy friend at Turkey Swamp Park.  The weather was so perfect that I fell asleep by the river side. After pulling two ticks off and taking two rolls of film, my friend sent me this picture from our shoot. So many tiny toads were hopping around at the park; I had to pick one up!
