Eighth grade was the first year I remember learning about photography and actually using a digital camera. Today I am a senior (16, 17 tomorrow actually) and two weeks ago I purchased my first SLR, a Canon T1i. Yes I would recommend it to anyone, but this blog isn't to review or talk about the camera.
Now that I have had some experience with a SLR I simply love it! As a senior I need to be thinking about what I want to do with my future and at this moment Photo Journalism is in my future. I'm a fan of abstract and war photography (If you haven't seen "Shooting Robert King" look it up. Its a great documentary following war photographer Robert King through three wars). Being embedded with the military for a news group or working with TIME or National Geographic is my goal at the moment.
As for now, I take abstract photos, nature photos, production photos (check out my groups studio on youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/lightfootstudio) and airsoft photos. Airsoft is a game or sport or hobby (whatever you may call it) that is military based, also called milsim (military simulation) (if you want to see more check out http://www.youtube.com/user/scoutthedoggie)
From now on I will mainly be posting a picture or two whenever I feel like it (for now) and talk about where what and why. It may be airsoft, it may be abstract, it may be people, or it may be production, who really knows. All pictures are taken by myself. If you want to use them contact me first! Do not take these images.
Today is August 11th 2010 and in this note...
The Local park has some signs banning swimming. The signs are dirty and scratched and have character. This photo reminds me of how most people would not take a second glance at these signs, but how the photo is taken they are shown in a new light.
