Something about being able to capture a moment with an image intrigues me.
I recently acquired a Nikon D3200 and I have yet to put it down. I desire to document every instance. I have begun to see from different perspectives because it could make a pretty picture.
Through this lens, I see the world differently. It is a prettier place.
My view of the world is optimistic. I try to find beauty in everything I come across, so if I can take a picture that will catch someone’s eye and allow them to see through my worldly lens, then I have done my job. If one takes a picture of a cigarette butt the right way, it could mean something to someone.
We live in a beautiful place covered by garbage. It’s our jobs to uncover the beauty in everything.
People look at this place with a negative filter.
That’s no way to live.
People are ugly and their actions are hurtful, but they have a story. Each individual has experience different things in their lives that make up who they are.
Maybe it’s a lesson in empathy, but I’m starting to see the world through different lenses. I may not always like what I see, but I can understand it. In the right lighting, anything could be beautiful.
Compose the picture that you want to see. Be the photographer of your everyday life.
Use the colors of the environment and contrast them with the different personalities you come in contact with.
It’s not a bad world once you look at it through my eyes.
