Photography Journal: Woman with Camera

By Andrea Annie

   I must say that photography came to me probably like for many people. it all started with vocation photos, birthday parties, and family. I remember a long time ago a trip to New York I took a black and white film in a little camera that I still have today. The exciting days of film developing that we had to wait to see the photos. Nowadays with the cell phone era it changed the way we see photography.

     I love all sorts of arts and I had this strong longing to create my own art. I felt that through photography it was possible to express the world around me and to be my voice. When I showed interest in photography my husband gave me on Christmas his canon and I started my wonderful adventure.

      I knew that first I had to learn how my camera worked. I started by reading the manual to understand the features of the camera. Also, I watched a myriad of YouTube videos about photography and photographers. I learned about many different photographers and their style. I got inspired by many names specially by the females' photographers I got fascinated about their journey through photography. 

      I started to notice things I never pay attention before, shades, lights, little flowers, trees leaves and their shapes, patterns, textures, plentiful details of different subjects.  A whole new meaning of source and revelation was right in front of me, I was so delighted to board into this adventurous journey.

     However, one question keeps rising into my mind which style is my photography? I liked to photography everything! It felt like a dilemma that keep hunting me. When I looked in many other photographers' pages, they have their photography style, that made me feel uneasy. I decide to reason with myself and follow the flow of my creativity. I choose to enjoy photography and experience the craft and let this beautiful affair to guide me and my camera.
