The “Hip Shots” series of Doodlemeister.com photographs will feature images that were grabbed “on the fly” with little or no regard for framing and focus. The object of the exercise is to create dynamic pictures, not perfect ones. With this ” shoot-from-the-hip” method the more frames exposed, the better the chances are that you’ll come up with something interesting—a related series that can be arranged as a post. If you’d like additional tips for using the technique, or to submit your own pictures, drop a question or note in the “Leave a Comment” section, below. Meanwhile, click on these images for a larger view, and click the “Hip Shots” tag above for more examples. For another post in the series, tune in next Friday.

One recent morning during my walk around the seawall trail at Fort McHenry, I noticed a young woman up ahead having a cellphone conversation. I never saw her face, but from the rear she appeared toned and trim, a pigtail of healthy brown hair falling to mid-back. She was wearing a stylish sleeveless white top, black spandex pants, and expensive cross-training shoes. I overheard this bit of her phone dialogue as I passed by.
“Since he left, I’ve been trying to build my identity back up all over again. I haven’t had any self-esteem for over a year.”
