My perspective on life isn't just limited because I'm peering through a little hole in the back of my camera. Although, there definitely is that factor as well.
Instead, I capture the moments and then I relive them. And, when you're shooting 600 pictures in an hour, you capture idiosyncracies, interactions, and attitudes in a way that you just don't recognize when seeing them live-action. Add to that the fact that I have to then go through those 600 images and analyze for facial expression, lighting, posture, exposure, composition, and personality (etc, etc, etc) before selecting the best images.
I see the same scene over and over and over again. Suddenly, I feel like I know my subject. After interacting in person and then reliving those moments over and over again, you catch the little details.
The way Dad adores his son and can't take his eyes off him. Or the sass big sister gives to her little brothers (no matter how many years they've had to antagonize each other). The love that pours from a wife toward her husband, no matter how many years they've been married. The love that shows just in the way he looks at him. I capture the goofiness in brothers - both old and young.
Yes, its beautiful.

600 in an hour is more than I have EVER shot... ;-) Try picking your shots before you shoot a hundred of the same thing. Pretend like you're shooting with film. :-D
Ha! I probably could cut back a little bit, but I love catching all the expressions throughout the shoot. :-)
