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.

I guess I’m bullying my husband then. I had a breakthrough with him in the last few weeks and he started getting great photos of my boys at sport. Secret was portrait mode on iPhone. 
Makes me so happy to see quality photos when I’m not there to take them. I will continue to bully 😁
