A picture for you and a picture for me

Photography is a diverse art. There are many different types, many different styles, and many different meanings. Every single photos is unique, everyone draws a personal meaning for each person who sees it , not only the photographer. Photography is fun, personal, and creative. The best thing about is the personal expression that comes from. As the photographer, you put your heart and soul into your photos and your deepest thoguths and opinions will come out in them. Photograpghy is a great way of showing the world who your are, and sharing your gift with them.

Keep taking awsome pictures and wowing the world.

An Abstract Thought

An abstract thought, an absract picture, and abstract response. photography is often seen throught the photos of pretty landscapes and people scenes, and/or a meaningful message, but the other portion must be accounted for aswell. The other portion refers to the photos that are taken for sake of a photo. They don't have a specific meaning, or a specific audience. Some photos may evoke feelings in some people and others may not. (ie. The couple on Seinfeld who found the painting "The Cramer" the most beautiful thing they've ever seen)
Abstract photos are just meant to be interesting pictures, that mean different things to different people.
Over time, I've taken many of these photos, seen something that caught my attention or looked interesting. maybe they will jump out at you as an importnant image ofr maybe you will look at them and think what a ramdom collection of images. But either way, Enjoy!

Political? Or just a picture?

Photography can be simple, complicated, beautiful, graceful, or something not so apetizing. My favourite form of photgraphy and the most interesting is photography in which you convey an important message or symbol. A simple picture can illustrate and increible opinion, or a simple point. If you were to walk down the street and a pile of trash catches your eye. It strikes you as appauling, and you realize that it caught your eye because of how the litter sttod out against the foresty background. Now is the time to capture your picture. You find the right angle, the right lighting and you capture the photo in the way that best conveys you opunion or feeling. I just happen to have a picture that came from the exact same situation.
This image is from the sitting area out side of Clarke High School. Students sit there weveryday and have to deal with all the trash. I took this picture to best capture the large amount of garbage around and the fact that it is choking the wildlife, as it is seen here pile on the lawn underneath a tree.




This kind of photography doesn't always require an imporatn message, below I took a photo of a drastic difference in a green bushy lawn, and a gravel driveway. This comparison is meant to evoke thoughts of the struggle betteen nature and man. Creation, and destruction. It is not meant to be important or to prove a point it is just meant to draw out the feelings in the viewer that I felt when I first came across this place.



This form of photography can teach lessons, prove points, or show opinions, and it is fanastic being able to show how you feel about things through the art of photography.

My Experience with Landscape.

This is just a couple of photos of my own, my favourites of all the landscape photography I've ever done. Hope you like :)

Landscape Photography

Another great and easy way to capture the beauty all around us is landscape photography.

This can be both rural and urban. You can take pictures of a field, a forest, a road, or a skyscraper, a marina, or a busy road. The landscpe doesn't have to follow the set idea of graceful fields, with the perfect lightings and accent of colour. The same rules apply to landscape photography as photogarphy in everyday life. It is not important what you choose to photograph, as long as you capture the beauty that you felt when you saw it. If your photos do not move people, then their purpose has failed. This picture I took above was taken by the side of the barnyard at my house. It was early in the morning, around the time I leave in the morning, and I looked over at the yard. The sun was beginning to rise over hills and it reflected incredibly off the snow in the yard. I was trying to capture the idea of simple beauty by including foreground trees and farm equipment and I would consider this an effective picture.

The Beautiful Basics

The most basic and sometime the most intriguing form of photography is photography in everyday life. Taking your camera for a walk and taking pictures of things that move you. It doesn't have to be anything special, a tree, a flower, the road. The key is to capture the part of the image that moves you. If it is a piece of litter on the road that you see capturing an image of pollution then take the picture in a way that shows the viewer of your photo what you thought when you saw this. If it is simply a beautiful flower, then try to capture to beauty that you saw and show the viewer why this specific flower is so beautiful.
Here are some example of my favourite picture from my photography in real life.

This image struck me as meanigningful when I saw it. The part that stands out the most to me is the grass growing around and up through the driveway, like nature's struggle against man's damage.

When taking photos in everyday life, remember, it doesn't have to be the prettiest image, it just has to have meaning.
