Shoot First: Lonely. This was my first good photograph. I took it back in 2002 in Lake Tahoe with my college friend Clinton (there he is sitting all by his lonely self). And that’s when my love for photography began. Before this shot, I wasn’t very happy with any of my photographic results, partially because I didn’t think about the shot too much and, as a result, didn’t have much meaning after looking at it just once. But with this photo, once I saw the setting I knew the exact shot I wanted and a lot of things had to happen simultaneously to get the shot. The journey down to the lake was quite serene and that was the feel I knew the picture had to have. In another split second, I had to make sure that nothing would clutter the frame and had to look beyond Clinton to make sure the incoming speedboat wouldn’t be photographed. And finally, I took the shot. Finally, one good photo that inspired me to take photography on as a serious hobby.
