I have six cameras. Two of them work. I have, over the years acquired quite t he collection of cameras. I have a Polaroid, Two fancy film cameras (That I do not know how to put the batteries in), a 35 mm camera, and two digital cameras. One of the digitals I use for events of the sort. I have a baby shower at the end of the month that I am being paid to take pictures at. How cool is that?! I have never NEVER been paid to do photography before so this is exciting in my world. There is another baby shower in September that I am also being paid for.
Maybe I should put an ad on Craig's List? I would not know how much to charge. The lady for the baby showers is giving me $25 for the first one. The second one is still up in the air and being negotiated.
I love the idea that with the click of a button, you can capture an image and it is yours to keep for as long as you want. You can capture memories and look back on them years and years down the line. You can capture the beauty of a flower, and even if the flower dies, you will always have the beauty of it in the photography.
There was this tulip in my mom's garden. I got more excited about it than she did. It was all white, except one petal. One petal was half white and half red. I could not get over how much this flower fascinated me. I have never seen anything like it. I also could not understand why my mom was not as intrigued by it as I was. I showed the picture to several people and they were all impressed. I was actually accused of photoshopping the flower. There was no way in Heaven that that flower could exist without the help of technology.
Right.
I live my life behind my camera lens. I live to capture as many moments as possible. I am constantly taking pictures. With the exception of when I am at work (even then I have a camera phone) I always have a camera on me. I keep one on me. You never know when you are going to need it. Nature changes so rapidly. Things happen all the time around me that sometimes I wish I could capture and share with the world. There are times that the picture does the scene I am trying to capture no justice.
A few weeks ago a friend and I saw a rainbow. It was beautiful. We also could not understand where it came from because there was no prior rain. When I took a picture of it, there was no justice to be done. We were in awe at the beauty of the rainbow. I even pulled up to another car and made sure to point it out to them. If I enjoy it, why should I not allow someone else to enjoy it?
Have a nice day and don't forget to capture your life. ^_^
