I noticed that hardly any street photographers ever shot from the level of the street. When I started doing this and adding the element of flash I was astonished at a whole new world of perspective.
Scenes appeared that I would have never imagined. This made me realize that where you place the camera has a profound effect on the final image. I was able to access a magical world that was usually off limits to the attention of the people walking by.
This new way of seeing things can be applied to any life challenges. If we can see things from other angles and points of view, then that can spark new possibilities and a fresh approach to any situation.
