One of the reasons I don't.... is that I am fearful that people "buy art" but just "admire photos".
I guess one of the reasons that I think that way is because.... that's what I do.
Well actually.... I admire it long enough to figure out if I can take that same pixture.
This shot is an example of just that.
We were on the Caymans Aggressor for this trip.
On a liveaboard.... one member of the staff is the official photographer.
He was showing some if his work on our first night aboard.... and in the slides he showed us was a picture of a large fish at a cleaning station.
The photographer had positioned himself in just the right manner to look right down the fishes throat and out the gills.... as it held it's mouth open to let the cleaner shrimp do their work.
As luck would have it.... 2 or 3 days later, as Linda and I made our way back to the boat on a late afternoon dive, we came upon this Strawberry Grouper at a cleaning station.
Because of the inspiration (that's what I call it when I copy) I had gotten from that other photographer's work.... I worked my way into a position to take this pixture.
