Are you a photographer? Can you see the beauty in a space? Can you really capture that beauty? Can you capture beauty in a photograph that you cant normally see outside the picture?
recently I was at my great grandmothers. I had stopped by with my Nana to try to get her to come out to the barbecue at my house, and eventually she said yes... but while I was there, I saw something that I would have seen in an art show. I grabbed my iPod--I didn't have my camera with me--and I took as many pictures as I could, but I couldn't quite get it. I didnt understand why! The camera just didnt get the actual feeling that I felt towards this small space.
It was a fake rose in a small vase, but it was the atmosphere that really got me thinking. It made me feel like I wanted to be at my (speaking of the future and my future home) house sipping a cup of hot coco by the fire. The gentle light from the setting sun coming through the drapes.
This picture and feeling got me thinking; you can capture true beauty in a photograph, you can capture the essence of a feeling, but to be there is so much more. And as I look back on my photos I think that I wasnt even close. I'm sure that if I had the right camera I could be a little better, but it was at my moms. Photo shop to the rescue.
