I’m more of a words guy than an images guy (I don’t even really take photos on vacation) but over years of being married my wife has bullied me into becoming a better photographer by forcing me to take pictures of her whenever we go out. Now I actually think I understand the basic philosophy behind working with a camera and thinking about frames, proportions, alignment and so forth. I never planned to learn this but it happened, and I have noticed many other people who have also been forcibly made into better photographers this way. The lesson: Bullying works.

lol nI see it differently nYou took an activity you weren’t naturally enthusiastic about and you framed it as a learning experience  nOne of my strongly held opinions is seeing the world through a learners lens is the single best thing we can do as individuals- for ourselves, for our communities, for the world nnAnd is it ever bullying if it’s done for love
