"There are no rules to good photographs, there are only good photographs" Ansel Adams
If they say that the camera can photograph thought then someone should always have SOMETHING to say about a good photograph. I would rather hear someone say a photo of mine makes them feel something negative then that it makes them feel nothing at all. Having said this I would also like to say I feel like an art or photography class should be a requirement in any educational program, because it can open your eyes to SEEING a world rather than just looking at it. Most of the time you cannot see beauty until someone shows it to you or you take the time to seek it out for yourself. Take a look around you right now without even stepping away from you computer, can you see it? Take a look again until you find it, look for something in a new way. Some of the best photos that are taken are the ones taken at the edges of a situation. T
To me some of the most interesting photos are of the things we all to often forget to look at in our daily lives. Take the time to see what is really around you. You will be amazed at how life will change, you will be amazed at how your art will evolve. Once you have captured something you love and are satisfied with your efforts smile because you are taking the first steps to becoming an artist, BUT never be fully satisfied with the final product because once you do have have stopped learning to grow. You will find that some of your best artwork out there has not even been produced yet. You have got to start looking for the photos nobody has taken you have to take your tools and go even deeper! Well all have access to subjects nobody else does, seek the things around you right now wherever you are at the time. Look into a photograph and see if you can find it's soul, photograph the moment before it has the chance to run away forever.

Bring Your Camera With You!
often times I feel like a camera nerd when I take my camera and equipment with me everywhere I go. Sometimes people stare at me like "why does she take that bag full of gear with her everywhere?" I realized a while ago that I really don't care anymore if people give me weird looks. I got this photo walking down the ally on my way to the farmers market this summer, and I have sold copies of it as well.
