I wasn't a natural born photography lover. I remember when I was a kid I hated
having my picture taken. I have tons of pictures where I look grumpy or I’m looking
away from the camera. I blame my
relatives. Although I have a professional photographer within the
family, most of my relatives can’t take a good picture even if their lives
depend on it. Seriously, I kid you not. Most of my childhood pictures are
horrible. I have pictures where all the heads of the people in it, are cut off.
Now a days when photos like that are taken they are called artsy. Hmm… maybe my
mom was just ahead of her time however I sincerely doubt that.
Depending
on your age or affiliation with photography you may or may not have worked with
analog camera’s. Back in the ‘dinosaur era’, you only had a roll of film to
capture that perfect moment. That’s another reason why so many pictures were
that awful back then. Once taken there was no way back. Thanks to digital camera’s you can take and retake
and adjust until it’s perfection.
My view on
photography changed once I got behind the camera myself. I finally got to see
the world the way I wanted. Capturing my vision and how I feel at that very
moment together in one perfect memory on film. One image speaks volumes. It can
say something to me and speak a different language to someone else. That’s the beauty of it. Interpretation is up
to the imagination.
With love, Ana
