The past few days I have been studying motion and photography... I was not originally impressed by the subject, but I have to say I'm hooked now. Did you know that photographers made strides towards motion picture back in the 1800's (1860) by exhibiting successive images to form the illusion of movement. I think I'm going to look into the history more and work on some different images to depict movement....
So much to learn....
When I first became interested in photography me attention was fleeting at best. I liked to take photos and look at things differently then the people around me... like watching life from a lens. I pursued it off and on and sometimes got paid a lot for my images and worked all over the world. That is where my dedication ended however, I made images that looked good when I felt like it.
Half my life later... (an interesting half but still a decade) I've decided to focus my intent on learning as much as I possibly can regarding photography, light, artists and everything in between. Since starting my journey I have realized how truly far behind I am and that has been humbling and scary at the same time. I am going to try and share some of my journey here on this blog and to be honest I am not even totally sure how blogs work. So I don't know if anyone will ever read this but even if not it will be interesting to look back and see how this all progresses. If you ever want to chat feel free to drop me a line, I'm always happy to talk about photography, art or pretty much anything else.
I'm on my way
My first blog post on my first website! I am so excited and grateful for this opportunity to follow my dreams and create beautiful artwork.
