I have never been much for keeping up with a diary or journal of sorts, but I have been looking for a way to get my photos and my intentions out there, and what better way to do so than a create a blog? To start, I'll tell you a bit about myself. I am currently an aspiring art teacher/photographer. Photography has been somewhat of a recent discovery of mine, however I have been obsessed with taking pictures and using a camera for a few years now. The recent discovery was that I MAY actually be able to make a career of this! I know there are so many amateur photographers out there who are as good, if not better than myself, but in my opinion there can never be enough photographers in the world. I have no professional training, or degree that classifies me as a professional, but I am just a person who loves to take pictures and loves to use photography as a form of art. I recently took a black and white photography class in the spring where we used a dark room and developed the film ourselves. When photographing in black and white you have to allow yourself to think in black and white. I learned the beauty of black and white. I have never been a "deep" person, or someone who puts meaning behind their art, but being in art school, it has become a requirement for most pieces we work on. I was forced to discover a deeper meaning behind my work, rather than carelessly taking a picture. Now, I have learned that behind the camera is me and my pictures reflect a piece of who I am and what I see from my eyes. Hopefully this blog can give you a little taste of what my work is all about!
