Lifestyle...

I really enjoyed this blog post:

It is short, but it is to-the-point.  It also reminds us of something we often forget - you don't need a special environment to capture amazing photos.  A bunch of flowers aren't going to make a huge difference, if you can't capture your subject's essence/soul/character.  Sometimes the best shots will come from a place where your subject feels most comfortable and natural.
