Photography plays a major role in my life. I love taking photos and am most comfortable with a camera in my hand. I take photos to stay present in certain situations, or as an escape. I also use viewing photos as an escape but I can view photos of nature and be transported to a more relaxed place. Photography is also a way of looking at the world. It’s a way of seeing the outside world and capturing it with the light of your inner world. The more tuned in you are to your inner story, the more stories your photos can convey. Those stories do not need to be literal. If you’re sad, you don’t need to photograph someone crying to convey that emotion or story. You just need to view the world as you.
