Mussel in the Sand
Anything can be photographed! We have been talking about vision in my advanced photo classes, and looking at images of ordinary subjects photographed in extraordinary ways. It all boils down to vision, what we see and how we present it in a photograph. Is it nicely composed and flawlessly lit to enhance our vision? Does it create a feeling or a mood?
Some of my favorite photographers photographed common things. Edward Weston photographed peppers and Paul Caponigro shot sunflowers, both in incredible ways. It really doesn’t matter where we reside and work, it is about how we see. Learning to see in moving ways is an art. Through practice we can develop a personal vision that allows us to share a piece of ourselves to the world. I find it very refreshing as well that my vision evolves and changes with time and experience. As I live life, those experiences shape and mold my vision. I see old things in new ways and new things in old ways. When photographing from the heart, I am never disappointed. It is always new and exciting.
I love life!
I love photography!
