One thing that has remained consistent in my life since High School is my love of photography. I can always count on a camera to help me focus in on something i wouldn't notice otherwise. I love to take photos of friends, nature, musicians and the odd found in real life shot. I don't photoshop my images and prefer to just see them as they are but maybe with a closer look or a different view. Photography is the one thing in my life that I never lost interest in it was always there when I was bored or feeling creative. It's easy to just pick up a camera and just wonder around taking photos. You don't need anyone else to do it. Just you and a camera. I guess that's why it has always been consistent for me. It doesn't require planning a meeting time with anyone or waiting for someone before you can start. Just pick up a camera and shoot something. I always have something that can take a photo with me...whether it's my cell phone, my pocket camera or my bigger camera. It doesn' t matter sometimes...all that matters is that you capture great Images. In the end al that matters is a GREAT SHOT. Photography is an art that you can share but you can do it for yourself. I like to do it by myself and then share the images with friends. When people ask you what you want to be when you are a kid my answer when I was in school was a photographer. Nobody thought I could do that for a living so I was re-directed into another direction, but all the while with a camera in my hand. Now I make my own decisions and I am finding that I am happiest when I have a camera in my hand... either a still camera or a video camera. It doesn't matter as long as I am being creative and capturing beautiful images whatever they may be.
So I will continue to take Images wherever I can. I took some of these today while waiting to do an interview. You can be creative anywhere. You just need to have a camera in hand and your eyes wide open.
