I know that my mind is so A.D.D., and I want instant gratification - and photography can provide me with that - but at some point, I want to make an independent feature.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I need instant gratification.
Some people can sit and enjoy the view... some people like to take photos to feel complete. I need to somehow possess it in some other way. I just have to somehow grasp it and take it home in a more fulsome way. It's where ideas come from.
My interest in photography is not to capture an image I see or even have in my mind, but to explore the potential of moments I can only begin to imagine.
As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs.
Photography, alone of the arts, seems perfected to serve the desire humans have for a moment - this very moment - to stay.
I'd very much like to create my own style as a photographer, even if it's just for myself.
What it all boils down to for me is having the enthusiasm to do something for enjoyment and being stimulated by what's around you. That's what photography does for me.
Photography, for me, is something I can control fully. It's wholly my own expressions.
I just think of everything I do and how happy it will make me to do it. I don't like having my photograph taken, for instance, so I don't do that often.
I love what I do and being in front of the camera. But I never want to limit myself to just one thing and just venture out into new things.
