//Lomo Kid

A week and a half or so ago I bought a Lomo Fisheye. And I took some shots with it, but I couldn't tell if they were going to come out or not.

I am happy to say that they did come out. They are hilarious and make me laugh really hard. Its fun to not think about having to get a good angle or the proper exposure, because there isn't one. Its a fun toy. Its amazing for the soul. Ahaha.

It really is different to just let loose and just play around. I do it with my digital a lot when I hang out with my friends, but even then, I still look at composition and things when I shoot. But with this camera, its really just trial and error. And its fun, just let go and take a picture. :-)
A couple other fun pictures from the past couple days:

//Aspiring

I am an aspiring photographer. I would not call myself professional, not just yet, but it is something that I am diligently working towards. I love to shoot anything and my camera is basically attached to my hand. I think that it goes without saying, to those who know me, that I would spend nearly all my time taking photographs if life would permit me too. But, alas, there are other things that need to get done. My favorite subjects have got to be children, I think that their innocence shines through and photographs and I am happy to be able to capture the emotions that they so openly wear, without fear of what others will think. It is fun to have to work for good shots of children, you can take a picture of child sitting and smiling, or you can take a photograph of a child how they really are.

Since this is my first post to my blog it is going to be overly photo heavy. I think that having an overcap of what I have done before and recently will give a good starting point to how I grow and what I end up achieving. Another thing that I love to photograph is nature and flowers. It can be so hard to find a new angle on things because a lot of people have 'done it' before, but it is still fun to try.

Along with children, I just like to photograph people in general. I think there is something amazing about being able to tell a story, give a personality, or preserve a memory in a photograph. I am a strong believer in making prints, even now when everything is digital, there is just something almost magic about being able to see what once was. It gives a sense of moving foward and it helps to remind us of where we have been before. So far I have only had one real shoot/job. I didn't get paid for it, but I think it gave me some experience, it was an awards ceremony. Other than that I have only made photographs for people that I know and people that I am close to. I hope that soon I will be able to make photographs for other people; that I can make this not only my passion but my job. I am at school for photography at the moment in SF and I am enjoying my classes tremendously.
