When I walk around, there are always things that catch my eye. It’s usually colours, shapes, shadows, how the light falls in a certain way. That’s how I got into photography. I wanted to learn how to capture those things, moments. Learn how to do it in a visually interesting way. Because taking a photo of an interesting subject is one thing, but taking a captivating photo is something else. So I “borrowed” my dad’s dusty Nikon & started taking classes & workshops. Ten years and 3 cameras later, I’m still in love with the art.
I’m curious. Photographers, what made you start to photograph?
I used to play in bands that took up most of my time, I needed something to do after I stopped playing. I’m not one for sitting still and watching tv, photography filled the gap pretty well.
Like musical equipment, photography is expensive, so it was a smooth transition.
Ha! A little huray for second hand gear and equipment! :D (And people like my dad who buy expensive cameras for a holiday, never to use them again…)
