Photography, especially digital, has been a blessing to me in many ways. The PaD project was a wonderful way to see some things that I'd probably miss otherwise and there's really no pressure for the "perfect" shot. Sometimes I get frustrated with not being able to obtain the photo I see in my head, but other times I'm just really struck by the fact that I can convey beauty and interesting sights through photography. I have many photos that I particularly like and am proud of, but I keep trying to get better. Each time I learn something new, or take a new type of shot I think "Wow, that's cool!"
No ribbon here, but yes - I do like my photos and especially enjoy the whole "package" of doing photography; from creative and critical thinking, to seeing new places and people, to postprocessing and working at developing a critical eye. And even to really enjoying OTHER people's photography! |
