'Everything has Beauty- Just not everyone Sees it'
Photography has always interested me... the ability to capture a moment in time or even to capture something else no one sees. I feel that everything has some ascetic quality when shown in the right light. You can take a dirty, gross pile of snow found in some heap in the middle of a parking lot and easily pass by it without thinking twice. If you can really look at it in an appreciated way and find beauty somewhere in the scene, you will appreciate everything else around you. Photography also lets you make a statement on life. Although it may not be interpreted the same, the camera gives you a chance to capture the concept as well as the picture.
I'm taking this class to help me with my art. I can paint and draw, but know nothing about a lens. This will add a whole new light to my work as well as my thought process.
This is what I expect to come out of Photo I... a new way of thought for my art. I don't expect to be a master by all means, but I do expect to be better at a higher level than I am now.
The last two sentences all tie into my personal goals: to use photography to develop my art, and perhaps to find a whole new realm which I am interested in. I want to explore it as deeply as possible.
