This was the picture that inspired me to do photography. I took it on vacation in 2008 in the island called St.Kitts. It was with a point-and-shoot camera, set to the lowest possible resolution because at the time I didn't know any better, just that it gave me more shots. This is still one of my favorite pictures (when it's small). This photo gave me inspiration and courage to pursue something I never even thought I could. It broke me away from what I took I was going to be at the time and took me on a path to something better. I have met some people I never thought I would meet and have been just as inspired by their ideas, art, photography and many other things that I would not have ever known had I chosen to be a lawyer or a doctor. With all the knowledge that has been given to me by my professors and fellow art students and photographers, it's up to me to chose the path that will best fit me. I'm not sure if it's in landscaping, fashion, food or even weddings but I know as long as there's a camera in my hands, I will know I'm happy with the career path I chose.
This is an amazing shot! It's important to keep your first works to be able to look back and see what your original inspiration was. This is a great career for you!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful shot. If you had taken it in a bigger resolution you could blow it up and frame it. I would buy it, it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew back then how much resolution effected it =/ guess it's been part of my learning experience=) thank you!
DeleteNeesie,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful image! The composition is incredible. Isn't it nice to see that you had a sense for how to photograph the scene without any formal education in it? You've created some beautiful images this semester. You should keep a laminated copy of this image with you to remind you of its significance!
