I am a student of photography. My interest in photography started in sixth grade with a small digital camera I received for christmas. As my interest grew, so did my need to learn more about the subject. This year I took intro to photography where I learned how to use a film camera, how to develop film, the history of photography, famous photographers, and rules of photography. My personal favorite experience from this year is using film cameras and working in the dark room. This came as a surprise to me as I have only used a digital camera before this class, and my first experience with film wasn't the best. Many of my first pictures came out blurry and out of focus, but the fun of watching your picture appear on a blank sheet of paper is one that unforgettable. My love for photography and yearning to learn more will always be present and I cannot wait until I take my next photography class. I am so thankful to have been able to have the chance to learn not only how to create better pictures and learn the history of the topic, but to have learned to see life in a different light.
