2/23/15 ME as an Artist
I am not an artist, nor am I able to create things with a paint brush and some color. But I can take pictures of the world that I show to others. I have a perspective that nobody else in this world has--that is my art. Someone might take a picture of something at one angle, but I promise I can make it look different and beautiful by the ankle I take it from. Since I was a young child, I’ve always been told that I can sense things and have a broad perspective, and that helps me in photography. I love to take pictures of people who are making memories, because thats the best part of photography. Life is like a camera: focus on what’s important and you’ll capture it perfectly.
Photography is the best art because you can express yourself and the things that matter. If someone likes the beach, they could take pictures of the beach. Or, if they wanted to advertise world hunger, they could take pictures of that and show others rather than speaking. A picture can swallow words and disintegrate and be lost forever; instead by just looking at a picture, you can see and feel what the photographer is trying to show. I think thats the most important message while taking photos--you can send a message through your pictures in any way that you want. Photography is a personal thing, and there's no wrong way to take photos--that’s what makes it significant to me. I’ve been bullied and judged by people, and in photography I don’t feel that way, because it looks good to me. And I feel good about it, and when I show others with my enthusiasm, they see what I see in my photography. It a good feeling when others appreciate the work you do, because there's only so much praise you are going to get in life. Photography is an art that I enjoy because I make up the rules, the outcome of it, and in the end I’m proud of myself.
