I like photography because seeing what the camera captures makes me happy. For me, remembering what I see is much more important than the sounds or smell. There is just something about the visualization that rings a little truer than the other two categories. Which gives me a strong connection to photography.
Recently several people have made some very positive comments about my photography. One person even suggested that maybe I should change my career path. I still have a lot to learn before I could consider myself a professional photographer. For now I will just consider myself the happy amateur photographer who takes an interesting picture every once in a while. I really appreciate the positive feedback. Especially when the images people like the most are those that I feel really captured the scene as I witnessed it.
Continuing with my Hamburg theme, I have inserted three images on the right from the Speicherstadt in Hamburg. The first picture [Speicherstadt (Original)] shows the scene as I saw it at the moment. In many ways I like this form the best. It gives a better perspective of the moment then the other images can.
The other two images are just fun takeoffs of the original. I felt like the sky in the original was a little to bland and detracted from the picture. My favorite of the two is the Pencil version. It makes me think of some 1880′s black and white photograph. With some modern day cars and cranes thrown in.
To celebrate the positive feedback I have received, I decided to add a photography section to the website. There is a new category at the top of this page titled Photography. There you can find a selection of my images from Flickr. Enjoy!
