Waiting

I think I take photographs for the same reason I do graphic design – when I hit my mark, I mean, really hit that mark, manage to achieve something I'm just intrinsically happy with... there's a certain endorphin rush that's satisfying, exciting and particularly calming all at once. I can't explain it better than that. It's the achievement of that "j'ne sais quoi" that always seems to be just out of reach. But happening upon the design solution, evoking the atmosphere the shot was meant to have... even when you only get there a small percentage of the time and realise that everything else is somehow lacking... just hitting that perfect mark once in a while makes all the hard work, the constant unending hard work of everything else, seem perfectly worth it.
