It took me a while to find a something that interested me, photography seemed to fill a void that had otherwise been in my life. I had started dabbling with photography in high school to document things and events in my life. I will admit that I wasn’t fully invested in it at first because I had, correction, have a boring life. I live in the Midwest so let’s be honest for a minute here.. For the most part there are four subjects to look at in reality. You have corn fields, bean fields, water, and the occasional bigger city. On a side note I am in no way ripping on farmers or farming. That being said, if I was going to fully on invest in photography I was going to have to make the best of what I had and find the beauty around me. Yes there are more things the aforementioned subjects, but you have to do some exploration for it.
“The Road To Wonder”
I think a lot can be gained from a simple black and white or a fully restored piece of vintage farm machinery. What someone finds dull and boring maybe may be breath taking to another. The point to this story it to find something you love and peruse it. Don’t feel obligated to know what makes you happy. life is a journey and some times it is filled with obstacles. Surround yourself with people that you care about and care about you. People shouldn’t dictate how you live you life or what you do as long as it isn’t harmful or illegal. Photography happens to be a part of my journey and I intend it to stay that way. Make the most of your time. Life is precious, so don’t forget to have fun.
