It
is of my opinion that photography is an art. That
said, I think that everyone has the capability to
become a great photographer. Though if you look
around an ask people if they are good at art almost
everyone will say they are terrible or they hate the
picture they just made. If they don't you got lucky.
What these people are saying is not true. Art cannot
be good or bad, it just depends on the viewer.
Here
is an example: There is a person who absolutely
loves black and white photography, but loathes color
photography. If you go over to him and present a
beautiful photo of a flower in all its spring glory
but it happens to be in color that person would say,
“A horrid piece, absolutely horrid indeed,” and
would walk away. You would feel like you just got
slapped in the face. You would probably say to
yourself, “Well the color is of and it happens to be
off center...” and you would continue to invalidate
your photo until you fully agree with that person
who said that your photo was horrid. And once you
agree with him, you probably never want to touch a
camera again.
Well... that is some thing that I really do not
like. After all that person was completely biased he
only likes black and white photography! You do not
know this though so you think that your a rotten
artist for no reason.
If
you are going to show your work to people, you
should show it to people who like what you did, that
way you do not go off hating art and anything that
has to do with art for the rest of your life.
Alright, now that we have that covered, I would like
to share with you my story. I am 14 years old and am
an Eagle Scout. I have had an interest in art for
most of my life and have tried almost every form
thereof. This includes: watercolor painting, oil
painting, acrylic painting, wood carving, stone
carving, wire sculpting, digital photography, film
photography etc. I still do a lot of these because
they are fun, but the one that I really love and
will continue to do is photography. I think that art
is amazing and there are so many different forms of
it.
A few months ago I
decided to have a website where I could display my
art for other people to enjoy. This website hosts
CMJ Photographs.
Over these few months I have strived to make it a
more enjoyable and less crude website that gets
found easily by people who care to look for it. I am
of the opinion that I have gotten very far in the
time that has past and I expect to go even further
as time passes. On the website I have a few
different galleries these include:
Nature,
Animals,
Aircraft,
Sky and Abstract Patterns.
I
continue to expand these collections of photos
everyday. I hope you will take the time to visit my
website and I hope you enjoy my art.
