Interests in Images

For my first blog I guess I will just say that I enjoy photography and video for many reasons. I feel like I can best express myself through photography and video. I am definitely more of an artist than a consumer oriented photographer. 

There are many creative ways to manipulate and make art with video and photography. A lot of people may not see photography as an art-form because of its technical aspects, but there is still a lot of room for expression. 

Many kinds of photography can be messy and feel very creative. I enjoy a lot of the hands on photography more than using digital photography, but digital photography and video can be "messy", as well. 

What I really enjoy most about photography and video is that they can take a moment in time and make a person feel emotions based on visual and/or audio effects. I love the alternate world that I can create or I can become a part of. Even if I don't make a career out of video or photography, I will always be able to express myself through it, and understand what others express as well. 

Although video and photography can be stressful at times, the end result is always amazing if you put in a lot of effort, and I am usually very pleased with myself at the end of a project. The more effort I put in, the better I feel at the end of all of my hard work. 

So, I am excited about this new video journey, and most of all I am excited to have more video knowledge at the end, so I can continue.
