[entry.i]

My photographic goals... To think of them is quite difficult.  As one who loves to get one's hands into all forms of [hands-on] art, to focus on just one takes a moment.  I know, for the most part, what I find aesthetically pleasing.  I know what I look for and it is that same quality that I try to mirror in my work.  Not from what is said to be beautiful and well-shot, but what I feel.  Is that not what art is about?

Anyway, I digress.  I suppose I could say I would love to be adept at taking surreal photos.  I am currently toying with long exposure for I love the strange and sometimes eerie effects it has on photos.  I also love capturing familiar objects in a more distant, abstract form.  To raise my art to a certain degree... to post that as a goal seems rather lame.  It should go unsaid.  I suppose a more pertinent response would be to better understand my camera so that I may continue to fiddle with its many functions with a more learned hand...and eye.  That would be nice.  That is what I have been waiting to take a digital photography class for- to put some backbone into my observational and experimental knowledge on the art...


Some of my older work...

  1. Wow! Some of these older photographs are quite beautiful and haunting. The top image of the wind swept hair has both a grace and an intensity to it. These images teeter between being very beautiful and slightly disturbing -- very interesting! I love the shot of the leaf. I am looking forward to seeing what you do this semester!
