I am a highly visual person, so it is fitting that I am finally trying to embrace photography. I remember taking a photography class back in middle school, but the interest never really stuck. Then in college, I took a handful of classes for my Visual Communication major and I learned to enjoy studio photography. But, I have never been skilled with the art of natural light and it is something that I have always wanted to improve upon. I began using my Cannon 10D, in college and I am learning how to use it all over again. I want to know how to use it to the fullest extent and vow never to rely on the programmed settings ever again. I am forcing myself to shoot only in manual. Since my camera has only seen the light of day in the last couple of weeks, this will most definitely be a work in progress. But, I couldn't be more excited!
On the bus...the 38
I love how photography encourages me to observe my surroundings with a more meticulous eye. It's like I am visually hunting for the details that I normally overlook when going about my daily routine. I've passed the cable cars at Powell and Market Street a million times before, but I've never noticed this detail on the side of the cars until now.
