Since a few friends have asked me about getting into photography and I’ve noticed more and more people carrying DSLRs now and posting their photos on Facebook, I thought that it might be a good assumption that the general public has become more interested in photography. I had only been through a semester long photography [...]

When we were kids, we were encouraged to be creative. Drawing, coloring, and creating were part of the norm. Art was such a big part of our lives and even celebrated like trophys (kid’s drawings and creations and all). And making music was encouraged. We also had to learn the rules, though.

The last time I had my photo professionally taken was in my senior year of high school. If we wanted to be in the yearbook, we had to pay a specific photography company $10 to have our picture taken that was then forwarded to the school’s yearbook staff.

Photography has gotten a lot easier these days with digital cameras and their auto settings and I’ve seen people carry around digital SLRs instead of old point and shoots more and more.  When I took a black and white film photography class, the countless hours I spent in the darkroom developing film, developing prints, and [...]
