We all bring our own "vision" to everything we look at but in the end, there is so much the universal theme that runs through what we all see and photograph. Still thrilled the three of you got together and so cool to see the three shots there of that bridge.

In photography (as in life) it is always hard not to make comparisons with others but just being our own best selves is far more worthy of our efforts. Of course, I love the comparison photos and am still amazed at how we all saw this same scene so differently, but the rest of your photos are wonderful! You are one of our strongest supporters and it is wonderful to have you here as a guest poster!

Yes, because we each see beauty, things, so differently and go to it with such different perspectives it allows each of us new points of view to share and ways to approach life and things that surround us, and how awesome is that. Life would be so boring if we all told the same story.<br /><br />Your photos are beautiful, you have done the Dallas Arboretum proud!! xoKim Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16765296400379609580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-35614043959388662702013-04-02T07:32:24.974-07:002013-04-02T07:32:24.974-07:00Great post, Kelly!

You know that I have always enjoyed this exercise -but you have put it into words so perfectly. Sharing the shooting experience with someone is so much fun, and seeing the different takes is always surprising afterwards. Love the comparison shots, but each of the photos you used is gorgeous.

You are so right ... and it is a liberating thought ... just be ourselves ... in our photography as in everything. What's that saying? Something to the effect of being the best you that you can be because there is no other you. Well, I've mangled it, but I think you know what I mean. Let's each just go do "our" thing.Dottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811399388989716265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-4648512037166258592013-04-02T04:41:48.105-07:002013-04-02T04:41:48.105-07:00First, love the photos that you chose for this pos...First, love the photos that you chose for this post. Beautiful. I absolutely love the way that two (or more) photographers can see the same thing, be drawn to it, and create something slightly, or entirely different when they shoot it. I have the opportunity to shoot with a friend occasionally and I am amazed how different our "eye" is for the same subject. I love to see how someone else has interpreted what I have. It helps us learn and grow. So glad you were able to spend time with Terri and Leigh (something I have yet to be able to do!) Thank you for you guest post Kelly, and for faithfully following us here! heyjudephotographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098165048025314116noreply@blogger.com
