“Just a wild mountain rose seeking mysteries untold...”
HELLO, AGAIN!
LET ME TELL YOU A STORY OF HOW I FIRST BECAME FASCINATED WITH PHOTOGRAPHY.
GROWING UP MY DAD ALWAYS HAD A CAMERA IN HAND. AT FIRST IT STARTED WITH YOUR TYPICAL FAMILY PORTRAITS BUT HE THEN BECAME FOR A LACK OF BETTER TERM ARTSY FARTSY. WHEN HE WASN’T BUSY SHOVING A CAMERA IN OUR FACES HE WAS TAKING PHOTOS OF ABANDONED BUILDINGS, STRANGERS IN THE STREET, GRAFFITI, YOU KNOW THINGS WE ALL OVERLOOK. I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY HE WAS SO FASCINATED WITH IT UNTIL HE taken me to a dark room.
I remember the whole time I kept thinking, “This place smells FUNKY and WHY IS IT SO DAMN DARK?” Then MY DAD TOLD TO JUST WATCH AS HE WAS DEVELOPING A PHOTO. like magic an image slowly started to appear. Seconds ago iT had just been this blank sheet and now we had this photograph. I was so mesmerized and in awe how my dad had captured this image, a moment he wanted to freeze and keep forever. That’s when I knew I wanted to do the same.
As the famous Ferris Bueller once said, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” I don’t want you to miss those moments! So let’s work together, share a few laughs, SMILES, and most of all have fun!
