The greatest joy I’ve had as a photograher

The greatest joy I’ve had as a photographer, and in particular as a photographic artist, is I have learned to look at the world differently. I have learned there the world is an interesting place and that nearly everything and everyone is photographically interesting. I’ve learned to there is a story to be told in the objects, landscape, and people around us. My photography is an escape from politics and life’s issues even though I use my photography to express my thoughts, experiences, emotions, and wonder.

This isn’t a difficult thing to learn. When we go out with our cameras practice just stopping and looking. Think about photography. Think composition. Think light. Think is this a decisive moment. Learn as much about your camera equipment as you can so that when you recognize something that grabs your attention you can nearly automatically compose and get the shot.

You may be surprised at how much learning to be able to see the world as an artist will change how you view the world.
