I first played with cameras as a child. My parents bought me darkroom equipment and I remember developing and 'fixing' rolls of film. Buying black and white photo stock seemed expensive. It was fun because I could be creative.Then for years and years, I used a camera only during vacations. I don't know why lost my fascination. Even after I went digital, I still kept a mind-set that cameras were used only on trips or to record special occasions. Now, I am beginning to think of a camera as a creative tool again. Maybe flickr, as mentioned yesterday, is partially responsible.
When I'm in a photo mood, I see the world differently. The things that I pass by in ordinary life suddenly take on a new focus or perspective. The picture in this entry shows the roofs of the church beside this apartment building. That's all. I pass them frequently. Yet, as I wanted to shoot a photo, I was forced to see them in a new way.
