Comments on: Why Do You Photograph? http://www.smashandpeas.com/why-do-you-photograph/ Wed, 28 Jul 2010 07:30:14 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Dee http://www.smashandpeas.com/why-do-you-photograph/#comment-5704 Dee Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:13:37 +0000 http://www.smashandpeas.com/?p=1364#comment-5704 It all started when my mom bake some cakes and cookies about 2 yrs ago. And I notice those yummy cookies won't last long so I took photos with my compact camera and from there I began to have interest not only on basic pictures but exploring more about it as well. Adjusting angles and lights are so fun! And yes I don't like to use flash... =X I bought my Nikon D40 in Aug 2008. My very first DSLR and I fell in love not only the gadget that I had but the ability to capture the beauty side of the things that I see... is truly amazing! My aim to do photography is not earning money out of it (as in a job) but enjoying it to the fullest (I know, I will definitely look at my photos again and again...) and sharing it with the rest who appreciates photography as well! Anyway, I visit your site for couple of days and I really adore it. Is like a 2nd home to me. =) It all started when my mom bake some cakes and cookies about 2 yrs ago.

It's this great feeling that keeps me wanting to photograph and it now has become like a passion for me to photograph nature and keep a record of all those beautiful places that remind me of the good times that i spent there. Besides photography as a passion for me has stemmed from my strong desire to travel. I have always been an avid traveler throughout and meeting different people all with unique and interesting stories makes me delighted internally. So recording all those precious moments and places with my camera (a film and a digital SLR for now, though i plan to jump on to the large format soon whenever i get the chance and budget) is like a 'built-in' function for me :) I wish i could somehow record the smell and fragrance of those places as well, and tag them with the photos :) The greatest inspiration and motivation for me is the love of nature and to be actually out there and feel that wholesome experience.

Photos are memories. I grew up with a father who loved taking photos and game me a point and shoot early on. Hoping to become good enough to be invited to share in other's memories.

I blame my family for telling me I could never make a living doing it. They should have known better than to tell a 17 year old something like that. I'm 40 now, and have been doing it since they told me I couldn't. I feel like I'm missing out on something if I don't get out with the camera every so often. Even if I'm bogged with commercial work, I have to get out and "play" a bit. I photograph because I have to.

I love my photo gear and i love to show people my vision of the beautiful world around me. It's something i just need to do to feel good and I do believe it makes people seeing my photos feel better. By the same time photography is a great way to learn new stuff and connect with other interesting people around the world.

It is a highly creative art form that draws me to it's challenges. I also see photography as a developed skill achievable by those who work at it and not a gift given to a select few by nature. It's wholesome and rewarding... and digital photography is the greatest thing since Rock and Roll.
