Unexpectedly Good Photo


Photo Title: Old Field

I was on my way to Six Flags with my sister when I got the sudden urge to take photos. We were still in the car and I wanted to try my hand at taking photos while she was driving. I actually snapped quite a few good photos. I was surprised that this particular photo turned out so well for the fact that I was zoomed in all the way. Usually my photos turn out really blurry when I do that and considering we were going about 70 m.p.h., I wasn't expecting anything but some cool looking blurs.
The setting itself has an old worn out feeling to it and I feel like the slight blur simply added to the effect. The amazing thing about this photo is that after I took it, I actually got a vision of what I wanted it to look like. That's amazing to me considering the fact that I didn't have any sort of plan or vision for taking photos when I first started. I was just following my impulse to pull out my phone, snap some pictures and see what I could get.

About Me

Gentily almost facilely I'm roused from my sleep. The enigmatic cause of this effect inspires wonder in me every morning. The unspoken almost indiscernable feeling immediately puts me in a state of awe. Not another moment goes by until my mind begins absorbing the images or the feeling of colors that danced behind my now open eyes not too long ago.

The feeling of awe disipates as I fill my day with less meaningful activities. Every action taken without thought, every unfelt smile and empty conversation I comply to vexatiously chips away a piece of myself. The seemingly insignificant and ordinary things in life rouses another discernable feeling that sharpens my mind and makes me feel awake again. Whimsically I share my thoughts and experiences with others hoping to rouse them from sleep with the unexpected beauty I found. Repeatedly I am left feeling misplaced and misunderstood before I finally cultivated that art of listening. Shortly afterwards I embrace and eventually value the idea of being a mystery to others.
