Today, as I left Steiner Studios after a wardrobe fitting for some background work on "Pan Am," I was startled by the sunset over Manhattan. So I sent out a tweet.
Sunset over NYC from the Steiner Studios lot. Wish I'd brought my damned DSLR. I'll just have to remember.
What I meant is that I'll just have to remember what it really looked like, because there was no way in hell the puny camera on my phone could capture a tenth of what I was seeing in person.
But a camera doesn't just capture something. It changes it in the process.
In Italian, one choses the moment per fare un fotografia, to "make" a photograph.
Which makes as much sense as what we say in English.
Two bronze sculptures by Hanneke Beaumont caught my eye as I walked through Frederik Meijer Gardens this summer.
Actually, a lot of things caught my eye. But at this moment, I am particularly happy what I made of these.
