irritation.

the photo-taking inabilities people possess amaze me. 

how hard is it to take a photo that is appealing to the eye? how hard is it to center a photo if it needs to be centered? how hard is it to get the subject's feet in the photo without cutting off the top of another important element? do these people not look at the picture as a whole when looking through the viewfinder or the giant 3-inch screen on a digital camera? 

this will irritate me for the rest of my life.

and then i love it when i am taking a photo of others and they harass me for turning the camera at an angle. "why do you turn the camera crooked!?" they practically shout while laughing as if it is funny. it's funny? funny until you see the photo and realize, oh! it is eye appealing and much better than straight on with seventeen feet of space above their heads. you do not need to be a professional photographer to take a decent picture. morons.

I think you're an amazingly skilled photographer and I am jealous of your abilities : )
