Photography and Video…diving into a new hobby
Over the past few years, I have been mainly into music and music technology. I have done some other things too but I haven’t ventured too far out of that circle. Nothing wrong with that at all. I really enjoy it and I’ve began my career in that and I still love it. But, I really want to diversify.
I’ve always been intrigued by video and photography. I’m fascinated with capturing the moment whether it be just a snapshot, or a series of snapshots. I want to stretch myself to think more artistically when looking at things and capturing ideas. I was interested in graphic design but I struggle with creating something out of nothing really. I must admit, the concept of a blank, white image on a computer screen is really quite amazing. You can create anything you want out of that…but at the same time, it’s very intimidating. I’m hoping that through photography and video, I can begin to grow and learn more not just in media, concepts, technology and communication, but maybe even in who I am. I firmly believe that God can speak to you through anything, at anytime. He is the master creator and hopefully by trying to dive deeper into this kind of hobby, I can learn more about who God is and what he is doing in the world today

For me, the start of something that interests me means I go crazy wild in researching, reading and talking to other people until I can reach my goals and then if all goes successfully, I set more goals and the whole process starts over again

So, I’m blogging about it because hopefully there are people out there who are WAY more talented then I who would have some great ideas on where to start, resources, and stuff that would be beneficial to me. I’ve done some research but I really need to step it up.
Anything is welcomed…concepts, ideas, information, different facets of these topics….whatever. I’m down…let’s see where this goes…
