As an avid traveler, photography is one of my budding hobbies. I haven’t taken a class (I probably should ) and I don’t really know what I’m doing, but I try. That’s what counts, right? 🙂 Today, as I swiped through the photos I’ve taken so far on my trip, I’ve been thinking about me as a photographer.
On Photography
At first
center it
point and click
snap, snap, snap
quantity over quality
Through the years
I’ve evolved
no longer
am I satisfied
with mediocre
Now my photos
have to
tell a story
make the viewer
wonder and
question
The focus now
is less
on the famous
or touristy
and more
on the ordinary
Catching glimpses of
everyday life
made interesting
by the angle
the framing
and the focus
Color and
lines
grab my eye
intriguing me
enticing me
to take the shot
The goal to
get the perfect shot
the right angle
subjects in and
out of focus
framing it just so
better than editing later
More concerned with
quality over quantity now
many shots
don’t make the cut
but the ones
that do
are just right
Here are a few of my favorite shots:
