“Artsy” Photography
One of the many joys of photography is taking something that would be viewed as relatively mundane in everyday life and turning it into something surreal. I chose to do so with minimal post-editing manipulation involved (such as adding “effects” in Photoshop); instead, opting to use my camera for the desired effect (such as using a longer exposure to “capture” motion). Photography is really the art of capturing light and translating it into a visible medium. How that light is manipulated is one of the many reasons why I find photography so enjoyable. It also forces you to slow down, “smell the roses”, and visualize things that may not be seen using the naked eye.
