The Notorious P.I.G.

The real piggy bank. The friend of the cow bank from Saturday's Post. I bought them at the same store and they were only $2.99! I may go back for the cat piggy bank but that would be a little over the top, I think. :)

So, I was checking out sagelike31's blog and he said "Eh....can't have a masterpiece all the time." That got me thinking.

Do you know that I have a split personality when it comes to photography? There's the serious, art photographer Lisa. There's the working photographer Lisa. And then there's scrapbook Lisa. All of them have different goals. Scrapbook Lisa's only goal is to capture the fun, memorable moments of her friends and family and Spike. That Lisa doesn't always worry about composition and usually shoots in P mode. She takes lots of pictures (especially because kids and cats are FAST) and crosses her fingers since she's going to be cutting and playing with them.

Do you think if Ansel Adams and Dorothy Lange grew up in the digital age, they would be taking fun snap shots and posting them on photoblog? Or would all of their photos still be serious art? Something to think about...
