My First Post



I chose Life and Photography because I love life and I am absolutely fascinated with photography. I find it amazing the way a photographer can take one shot, and it can tell millions of stories. I’ve always been told that a picture is worth a thousand words. I never really understood it until I “broadened my horizons.”
This picture takes my breath away.  “I am Free” doesn’t just tell one story, it tells millions. Anyone could be free from an addiction, an abusive relationship, or anything else that could have a hold on a person.  To be able to say those words can take a big load off of a person.
What I want viewers to get from this is the thought that there is more to a picture than what meets the eye.  I want them to look at photos as if they were the photographer themselves.  For example instead of a box just being an ordinary box, I want them to look at it and the ways it can be used.I also want to just show the creative side of photography. Photos can touch you in so many ways! Hope you guys enjoy!

  1. One picture can mean different things to different people, and this photo can mean we are free of harm, the government, our parents, or anything. I love it!

  3. I love that you see the strength in photography as an art and a way to speak out. I look forward to reading more. Be careful of run-ons.

  4. One thing I agree with most is how you you mentioned the "I am free" photo. One picture can capture yet apply to others in different ways. You may need to fix some spacing issues.
