This is a photo I took last week of one of my best friends Sarah. I think it applies very well to this blog in how I answer my own question.
In my last blog I had said I would be talking about headshots next. I Lied! Actually I've decided to save that blog for another time.
I wanted to ask everybody a question. “What is photography to you? What does it do for you? Why do you do it?
Feel free to include what your level of photography is. Are you a hobbyist? Is photography your career? Are you aspiring to become a pro?
Photography is to me?
Photography is to me a pure emotional response. It is an art and a journey. I am a very internal person, each time I put together a photo shoot it's a journey for me. My emotions go from point A to point B; with a very curvy road may I add. It's exciting when I see the Final result. I see this interesting image appear in my eye. I see this beautiful image appear on the back of my camera. I see this amazing image resolve on my computer screen. I see this spectacular piece of art emerge from my computer and printer. It's very exciting to see that process. I feel like a little kid in a candy store. Photography for me is an adventure. Anything can be combined into it, travel, spending time with good company, getting to know a relative better, love, life, and loss. The expressionism and the ability to make a statement without muttering a word are the things that photography is to me.
Now it's your turn. Answer this question, let me know.

Plugging a fellow!
I'm thinking of starting a new thing on some of my blogs called "Plug A Fellow" where I introduce all of you to a fellow artist.
To start it off I wanted to share this with everybody. One of my favorite quotes lately comes from my friend and fellow photographer Hector “BigBoyDrums” Cruz who is doing some amazing work down in Orange County. He put it best "My failure to take photos like my heroes, allows me to take photos like I do.” I think that is an extremely important statement for everybody to keep in mind while trying to imitate others.
Here's a photo of one of Hector's latest.
Enjoy!
