It all started in middle school. My sister started bringing around my mom's DSLR, to dinners, to outings, and family celebrations. I started to explore Flickr.com. As I looked at all the various photos, angles, and colors, inspiration started to flow within me. I started to recreate pictures I had seen before. With thousands of buttons with questionable functions, I gradually learned more about my camera. I brought it to outings with friends and practiced taking pictures. I liked the idea of looking back on the pictures. The emotions and expressions in them would make me laugh. I liked capturing that moment and having the ability to look back on it. I continued to bring my camera around and I haven't let go of it since. I've become almost addicted to bringing it around.
Because there is only one Nikon in our family, sometimes my sister or my mom have to use it. When it's not in my hands, I sigh when I find a photo opportunity. My eyes are adjusted to think through a lens. I frame pictures in my head. I look at different angles of an object. But when I do have a camera in my hands, I have a sense of security, that I will never forget that day.
This blog is intended to share with you my thoughts on photographs, photographers, pictures I've taken, professional pictures, techniques, different mediums within photography, and more. This may seem contradictory to when I said, "People assume I'm a photographer, with my Nikon D50 in hand. I don't deserve that title." To clear things up, I'm not a photographer, but hopefully one day I'd like to be. I'm inspired by photography, professional or not. I hope you readers enjoy this blog!
