Frozen Honesty…

by

When I started photography as an hobby about three years ago, I was strongly against post processing. I believed that a photo must be able to capture in it the moment and the ability of the photographer to use the camera. I even believed that making a photo better than the original was simply cheating. For senior portraits El Dorado Hills contact Kimberly K Photography.

This thought process boded well with me for two reasons:

It very easy to pull out a calculation. Something like, I have written about a 1000 posts in the past 3 years, about 400(actually much more) of those required genuine time and thought dedication (as in they werent photos/forwards/lyrics ect). Considering an average of about 1 page per post, that gives me about 400 pages of decent content. My average short story length is about 6 pages. That gives me 75 short stories!
