I might be completely full of *@#^ but I've come to a realization, while writing an email, about photography. I've long had this interest but never studied and never showed my work anywhere but the internet. I guess I always thought that I was just another person who had a "hobby" of photography, thought I was the bomb, but in reality wasn't good at it... or at least good enough to make something of it. But the thing that I realized was that photography is more than just a pretty composition. They (yes the infamous "they") have said that you have to have an eye for it. I've been told I have an eye for design but now I understand that I have an eye for photography too.
Someone once told me that my photographs are amazing and when they attempted to take pictures of similar places they just can't capture the same beauty that I saw. Then it occurred to me that I really do have an eye for photography. While people can be taught how to make a composition work they can't be taught to find the beauty in the world and capture that fleeting moment on film.
I am able to encapsulate how I view the world and what I see is beauty in everything. So I will wait and find out where this takes me. Hopefully it's someplace much better than where I am now.
