I adore the fun concepts we have in the mix today. Care to share in?!?
Anything and everything that lives, grows, or moves outside. If I had to
name just one thing out there, it would be birds, especially those in flight.
What photography is/means to you ?
I'm introverted. I'm also terribly shy around people I don't know. As small as a camera
is compared to a human, you might be surprised at how easy it is to hide behind a
camera. I've used photography to record memories of my family, places I've visited,
and the amazing sights I've seen. These days, I'm more inclined to photograph the
things that leave me in awe. Shooting using an extremely high pixel setting means
I can enlarge an image to see all the intricate details of a feather, the eyes
of a honey bee, or the lopsided grin of a child.
Your favorite shot you took (Ever)
I've owned a camera since I was 9. Choosing one out of the hundreds of thousands
of photos I've taken isn't possible. My favorite photos were all taken when I used
film and knew absolutely nothing about rules or techniques or photo editing
software. Here's a photo, titled "Willet Horking a Crab," that pretty
much sums up who I am and why I love photography today.
Photographers you look up to/ inspire you ?
Ruth Orkin and Henry David Thoreau. Orkin was well-known for her celebrity
photography but it's her spontaneous shots of people that inspires me. Thoreau used
words to create photographs of the natural world he so revered. His wisdom has
taught me to tread lightly ~ to only take photographs and leave only footprints.
What are you shooting w/ ?
Nikon D40X usually with the 55-200 mm lens attached.
Your future goals in your photography
I'm being pushed and pulled in several directions by well-meaning friends and family
members to publish photo books, show my photos in a local gallery, photograph
road racing (running), and sell my work online. I know my work is getting
better and when it's good enough for me, I'll take that leap.
