It is so much more than point and snap. It is full minutes of pressing buttons, turning dials, adjusting brightness and exposure, and then maybe, maybe, getting your shot in.
Terra spends hours outside pointing, but not snapping, not just yet, adjusting a million different settings first. All for the perfect picture.
Yet, to Terra, none of her pictures are perfect. Her earliest pictures have an incredible amount of flaws, in her eyes, and her latest pictures have far fewer, although Terra still manages to find some flaw in each one.
So she stays outside from morning until night, perfecting and perfecting her pictures. To her, she's still not there yet, though her friends and family give her such high praise. They just don't see it, she thinks. They can't see all of the flaws. And maybe they can't. But Terra is determined to rid her pictures of those flaws altogether.
Terra is determined to get the perfect snapshot of the world.
