They've been a part of my life for so long. However, I didn't start taking photography seriously until around my senior year of high school when I started taking pictures of anything and everything that came my way (mostly my friends). They got used to being followed not only by me, but by my camera (it's name is Sebastian!). It feels so right now, though. I think I might set my sights on becoming a photography professor. Well, it's only my freshman year of college. I still have time to decide...I hope. lol.littleghostgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467634516463660435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554566457946554165.post-19748056707552250962010-03-06T14:00:15.462-05:002010-03-06T14:00:15.462-05:00I am a sophomore, and I was sent to my basement to...I am a sophomore, and I was sent to my basement to find a basket for something, and stumbled on two old polaroids and an old canon film camera.

I desperately wanted to photograph, but did not have a camera. And my parents only an ooooold one, which they rarely used at all. I then ended up drawing different memories.<br />First camera was given to me at confirmation when I was 13. Have had several cameras since then, and I'm now totally hooked on the concept of taking pictures! :)Randihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451196549131132002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554566457946554165.post-41627301378800197082009-09-26T04:27:53.725-04:002009-09-26T04:27:53.725-04:00I was 4!

Then, it was cheap and the only way to go. Now, it's 'impractical' and film is costly. But, I adore the apprehension of what will develop.

My husband ...A cheesy story that has to be shared.<br /><br />My husband bought me my first film SLR. I came home from work and it was sitting on the table, with a camera bag. A sweet yellow one. A note lay next to it. "I couldn't picture my life with out you." <br /><br />I didn't fall in love with photography then. A few years later I had a baby boy. I shot an entire roll of black and white film in a 15 minute time span. He was a rolly polly four month old. It was BLISS. PURE BLISS. I have had a camera in my hand every since.Jerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07294165658548693217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554566457946554165.post-18655276532511015132009-07-13T20:37:15.153-04:002009-07-13T20:37:15.153-04:00This January!

I was at a basketball game of all places, taking pictures for yearbook, and it kind of struck me in the face that I could sit there forever, catching moments that came so quickly I could miss them if I blinked.

My parents were very surpised to discover I didn't take pictures of my schoolmates. Instead I took the painted walls,the laundry drying,the snow on a black boat. My dad gave me an Olympus OM30 for my fifteen birthday. <br /><br />I almost quit, unfortunately, because I can't be a CG artist, an illustrator,a designer, a Mom and a photographer. I had to put aside sculpture too.
