...its wonders to perform.
I like (in no particular order):
- photography
- footy
- baseball
- food
- Anglesey
- films
On occasion I will wander around the internet looking for things that catch my eye.
I follow baseball with some vigour, and have become quite interested in a gentleman called Joe Maddon. He is the manager of the Tampa Bay Rays (formerly Tampa Bay Devil Rays) MLB team. He is making quite a stir because his management technique is making a relatively small franchise punch above its weight. He seems to embody the title "leader".
So I decided to follow him on Twitter to see what I might learn about him and his approach.
When I started to follow him I saw that he was retweeting posts from his son Joseph. I didn't immediately look, but when I did I saw this picture here.
There are some styles of photography I don't like, feel comfortable with, or technically able to undertake. I dont necessarily like them - underwater photography is one.
THIS, however, is the sort of thing - street photography - I like and I really admire the people who can do it, and do it well.
What I also liked was that Joseph engaged his subject and showed an interest beyond just the image.
Finally I liked the comment Joseph made during the conversation, "he asked me if I was a photographer i responded that "I am working on it"."
So now I not only have a new photographer to follow, but can steal his wonderful answer, and when people ask ME if I'm a photographer, I can say "I'm working on it".
Stop by Joseph's photostream and see what you like. There is much to enjoy. Tell him swifty sent you.
