I love many different styles.
I don't take good photos so I feel that my strength is distracting people away from them with a bunch of elements?
That's a slight exaggeration, but most of all, I do enjoy coming up with a certain idea/journaling/title for a photo, and thinking of what elements, colors, etc. will complement that idea. My biggest challenge is composition--how to arrange everything. I love those rare times when I see the finished LO in my mind's eye. I don't consider myself to have a style--I'm just theme or idea driven, so I try to do what I think might look best for a theme. I would love to hit a home run every time, but I think that's possibly the downside of not having a strong personal style?
Since I'm idea-driven, I was a little bummed that you came up with the gears LO idea first for your son's field trip! But any time I can accidentally be on the same wavelength as you is definitely a great achievement since I love your work!
