fotografía..

I'm not a particularly verbose person. I think that's why I like taking pictures... they speak for themselves-Jeb Dickerson

Nikon D3100, twin lens kit. Need i say more? 18mm-55mm and 55mm-200mm. A perfect start up for the photography enthusiast they say. I agree, a nice DSLR camera with great enough lenses for all your zooming requirements. The only question now is; what should i capture? The answer is anything and everything. There are no limits, not even sky high, not when there are footprints on the moon. For a photographer the world is your paintbrush, your colour, your everything.

The next thing i'd say you need is a really good photo editing program. I'm thinking the latest Adobe Photoshop Elements. Dreams are not cheap and in this case neither are hobbies, so you better start saving your paper. Or if you have willing parents, you better start pleading your case. If you're young enough..

A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.  ~Ansel Adams

I know having a fancy-ish camera does not making you a photographer, hell even having a camera phone or digital camera can make you a photographer, albeit not a very good one but so long as your photos have soul, then you are..And if your shots earn you money then regardless of your equipment you are a professional photographer.

Why, i like it? It's simple really. A picture says a thousand words, the nice part is it says it without really talking. A picture is a moment in time caught forever, it is a memory saved. Photography teaches you to not only look but to really see the beauty that surrounds you. The way you see things begins to change, you will start to see the splendor of this world in everything, wether it is sad or happy. And that's not something many people consider or thing about when looking at things and objects that seem very normal/average/common.

So, here is to an new soon to be start. If i impress myself, then i'll share it. If not, then some things are not meant to be shared. This is me trying not to oversell. We'll see how it goes.
