I have always loved to take pictures. I used to borrow all of my aunts cameras. i've used camera's from very expensive digital professional lines to little 110 spy cameras. I also really liked the kodak disc and the 110 that had great exchangeable lenses. most of my photography was travel and documentary then, however through the years my style has honed in toward the tiny beautiful aspects of our world.
Photography has always been a valuable tool for me as is writing. Going on a photography hike is like taking a walk into a timewarp for me. I can go out into the world without a goal, other than to enjoy and document, and experience total serenity and peace.
It's also a manic dream. I can really get down and focus in on some of the things that God put here that most people never see throught their lives. I have to know, i constantly am looking for the next beautiful thing, and I have yet be disappointed.
I highly recommend this exercise not only for those of us who need therapy, but for everyone. Get out and see God's beauty. You can begin really cheap too. pretty much any camera with the exception of those crappy throw aways, is great. Even the sub $100 35 mm cameras these days are dreams compared to 5 years ago. to use a cliche that really fits this excercise, "It's not the camera, it's the artist." I definitely recommend going digital. Think about not having to buy expensive film ever again. Snap away...
Not only do i enjoy the atmosphere, I always end up getting at least a couple great shots for my gallery. check out some of my art at deviantart http://docscape.deviantart.com/.
