Love / Hate About Photography

What I love about photography: Instant Art. You don’t have to spend hours upon hours sketching and painting. You just compose, focus, and press a shutter button.

What I hate about photography: Camera Snobs. I cannot stand people who’s attitude is, ‘He who has the most expensive camera is the better photographer.’ I’m sorry, it’s the photographer’s eye, not the camera, that does the art. You can take amazing pictures with a pinhole camera made out of cardboard. I will not suffer a camera snob. You ruin photography. You’re why I call myself a writer, instead of a photographer. I don’t want to be associated with you.

What I love about photography: Digital Cameras. We now live in an age where photography is truly instant. However, I sometimes do miss the darkroom, but I don’t miss the expense.

What I hate about photography: Camera Snobs.

What I love about photography: Black and White Photos. Being that I am color blind, monochrome photography is where I do my best work.

Thank you to my old friend Roger for identifying this for me!

Mom, dad, don’t go in there! It’s evil!

It was a dark and stormy night…

From last night’s storm which blew through Naperville.

Okay. I’m just going to start assigning serial numbers to all these sunsets I’ve been collecting.

Balcony Sunset from April 26th

In case you haven’t noticed, I am compelled to collect sunsets.

I’m not sure if that’s symbolic, or not.
