Learning Steps

A sub fashion shot of Mina's "dress" | Music stands in the hall

I often find that using a sub par Fuji Finepix 3800 gives me terrible shots. The same is true about my photography itself. I'm not that great, although I do get lucky sometimes. One thing I am good at though, is knowing what looks good, and knowing how to achieve it.

My mass use of Photoshop and its effects in a way take from my hands on creativeness, but it also adds a sense that I can't get from an ordinary camera or any advanced camera for that matter. With things like this, you are more free to hit the shutter knowing that exposure can be fixed, and would need to be anyway on such a bad camera. Photography links to life, you can't get where you want to get, without giving a little, either financially, or with your own strength. My lesson learned.

The Photographer

My photo
Scarborough, Ontario, Canada
Born on the cloudless morning of May 11, 1990, I saw the world as a blur, probably because my eyes didn't work properly. Musicians don't need their eyes.
