KODAK PORTRA 800

I love how this photo turned out. I walked by this alley on the way to the market and noticed the light. How it lit the building-side perpendicular to the alley. How it bounced onto upper left building face. How it glimmered on the residual water left after the light rain. I stood there for a moment. Long enough to see a man with his dog on the right side, enveloped by the casted shadow. I stood and watch him adjust the dogs collar and continue walking down the alley. With my camera up to my eye now, I composed the shot. “Vertical.” I thought to myself, as so to capture the height of the buildings. I exposed, and I depress the shutter button. The shutter snaps open, but does not close. I take my eye away from the viewfinder to peer over the top of the camera at the shutter speed dial. “1/250″, so why hasn't the shutter closed. Suddenly, the shutter closes and the mirror slaps back into position. I quickly realign the viewfinder with my eye, recompose, re-expose, and fire off another shot. This time the shutter snaps open and close without any issue. I look back up at the alley and think to myself how nice the photo will turn out.

As a photographer I feel that I am more inspired by many painters rather than other photographers. Not to say that I’m not inspired by any photographers. Though growing up and going through elementary school learning about famous painters like Vincent van Gough, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Claude Monet, still resonates with me today. I tend to have an eye for the works of many artists with a realism or impressionism style. As I look at this photo, all I can think about is how painting like it looks. As I look back at most of my film photography, the same thing can be said. I feel my photos are unique, and although I am an absolute bias perspective, I still feel that compared to a lot of photos coming from the majority of people who will claim themselves as a professional photographer, that an image like this has more quality in it. I do not claim myself to be a professional. But I am, at most times, meticulous and thoughtful in my subject choice and composition. I take great care to make as well of a photo that I can, that provokes thoughts and emotions. And at the same time, social media has made it so that people who have a larger following receive attention to their photos that are just cookie cutter to the rest of the photo media on the site. I know it is egotistical to think that I am better than those people, and I know that it is covetous to think that my photos should be receiving the same type of attention. But I know that good work pays off, and that if I continue to approach my photography in a way that is true to how I perceive the world around me, that my work will be met with recognition.
