This photo was taken just as my brother and I got off the slopes of a Colorado Mountain. We were in the midst of lugging our ski's and snowboards to our car when I spotted the way the snowflakes were melting on his eyelashes.
This photo was far from well planned out. It was taken with the iPhone that I had on me at the time. I barely had time to take this photo as my brother and I was already falling behind our parents who did not know we had stopped.
Keep an eye out for the smallest things. The way water gathers on a leaf in your front yard, a pile of partially submerged fall leaves outside your high school, how the warmth of a human body causes snowflakes to melt. I am an amateur photographer now, back when this was taken I was at the very beginning of my passion for photography, this is not a shot that is impossible to see yourself capturing. I didn't need a quality camera although, this picture would have been significantly higher quality if I had. I didn't need to rent a model or set up a photoshoot, your family and friends are forever going to be your most vital of resources.
I have taken a million marginal photos of the smallest of details that I make an effort to notice in my day to day life. It is the act of trying to capture the smallest of things, during those in-between moments of just walking to your car.
