I've been in Michigan for a couple of weeks, housesitting for some friends and heading home today.  The quiet time alone has given me time to think more about my photography.  I have two passions when it comes to photography:  photographing the street and working in photoshop to create compositions.  The problem with creating compositions (especially using live models) is that all of the elements (the background, the model, and the fabric) have to unite.  I understand that the light source in the landscape has to work seamlessly when I introduce the model and then the fabric.  I also know that it means I will have to have a special lighting set up.  But I think more than that, I will have to create it first in my head, write out the details (probably like a storyboard) and then photograph the landscape, model, and fabric where the light source comes from the same direction.
