Tim Weaver<br />
An Eye for Photography<br />
38<br />
Many can't remember the very first picture they took. However, Tim Weaver does<br />
in full details.........<br />
It was a nice summer day, the breeze was blowing, we were on the beach. We were<br />
both young, in our 20s and without a care in the world.<br />
We were surrounded by people, but we didn't notice them and they didn't notice<br />
us. Her boyfriend stood by, offering her words of encouragement as I directed<br />
her to turn her head a little to the right...a little more…<br />
SNAP!<br />
On that summer day in 1986, I captured the first deliberately composed portrait<br />
I'd ever taken. There would never be another first. I hoped it was as good for<br />
her as it had been for me.<br />
The photo was taken, nothing more could be done. How would it look? Was it<br />
properly exposed? It would be days before I found out.<br />
Turns out it was great and, to this day, the image above remains one of my<br />
favorites; a black-and-white portrait of a woman whose name has been lost to<br />
time.<br />
