subject: I Got Used to the World of Photography [print this page] Author: Daniel Kreimer Author: Daniel Kreimer
Since I got used to the world of photography, I have believed that every fabulous photo is created not merely with a terrific technique. My conscience has been telling me that capturing a moment and the artistic side of an object is what remains above it. In close examination, many award winning, or very impressive, photos can always demonstrate the existing moment and nuance. Some say that it is befallen under a good fortune. Therefore, I keep trying to find what I can possibly do to capture every moment and nuance through the lens. Luckily, I studied abroad. I treated this as a good chance to enjoy numerous new found happenings and dug out more lessons in terms of photography as well. When the Ordinary is Peculiar Oft-times, I feel like I need to sharpen my photography technique which is not yet satisfactory. At a leisure time, camera is a faithful friend. To what place, through what thing and with what emotion I go, the lens will perpetuate everything. When I find a new place, I will be in a great enthusiasm, spirit and interest toward everything around me. To kill my time, I will get rid of my routine, stimulate my sensibility, widely open my eyes and be "autistic with my camera." I will capture everything seen and in the "radar" of my sensibility and emotion, what people do around me, or the things that they have consumed known as "trash." Apparently, that is awkward, but that is what I do. I want to change everything ordinary to be something peculiar to perpetuate. To Stimulate Sensibility: As a camera lover, we need to practice on how to stimulate our sensibility every time we see a moment, even when we are in a usual place. We can achieve this by freeing our mind from the "usual way of thinking" and "routine way of thinking. A friend of mine introduced me to a saying in French: "savoir vivre," meaning to get used to savoring life and learn on how it is prevailing, as if we were in a new place where we should be prepared to a new experience that life had assured. Though we always live in the same room and ambiance, I believe, there is nothing identically happens with exactly the same nuance. Most of us think, "I live here yesterday, now and tomorrow, and everything will always be the same. Like a Spanish jargon: "misma cosa diferente dia" (same thing different day). If we believe in such philosophy, it means also that we have killed our capacity to feel, our capability to perceive and our sensitivity to seize on the exotic side of the ordinary thing. We have killed our sensibility toward every happening or moment, along with its nuance. Hence, I learn a lot and try to reconsider that apparently, there are a lot of peculiar things happen around us, wherever we are. About the Author:
