I was told by my friend Mabel that electrical storms are going to wipe out the Internet (perhaps forever). I only have one day left to write about my passion of photography. Time can’t be controlled, it continues to tick away every second and there is no way to stop time except when taking a photograph. I use my camera as tool to freeze time, capture memories, capture emotions and see the changes in those around us.
The photograph doesn’t need to be technologically perfect to convey the emotion of the moment. I don’t have a photography degree, I don’t’ have a fancy studio or use fancy equipment. I just use my trusty point & shoot digital camera. At family gatherings I will take some posed shots but my favorite kind of photographs to take are the candid types. Candid photographs really tell the best story and can convey great emotions.
I enjoy taking photographs of my family and friends but I also enjoy taking photographs of landscapes. The seasons change our landscapes throughout the year and I find this interesting how just one mountain range or field of grass can change so much through the seasons and I enjoy being able to capture those changes.
I would like to travel around the world to
take landscape photographs. I have been to San Francisco and my heart was pumping faster when I was taking photographs of the Golden Gate Bridge. I really enjoyed taking those photographs and want to do more of it.
Being able to freeze time and capture the changes of landscapes and people is a powerful tool to have and I am grateful that I am able to use this power to make people smile, remember and appreciate the things around them.
