i STILL love photos.

i went to visit my high school photo teachers...
their room smelled like developer, and it brought back memories...
they were dissappointed to hear that i'm not taking any art classes in college...
and so... i've decided to start taking pictures again =]

because pictures are pretty.

i like taking photographs to capture things as complicated as emotions and ideas, as well as things as simple as moments and images. Capture moments. Capture Love. Capture Life.

"I think a photography class should be a requirement in all educational programs because it makes you see the world rather than just look at it." -Author Unknown

"You don't take a photograph, you make it." -Ansel Adams

"All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this - as in other ways - they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it." -John Berger

"When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls!" -Ted Grant


If there's one thing i love to do is describe things through writing... but there's nothing like a picture to add the cherry on top.

I think that we can't ever really leave our pasts, i mean, we can try to forget it... but it'll always be there. By having photographs, we can have something to help us remember the past... and my remembering the past, we can learn from it, and dive deeper into our futures.
