experimentation

It’s been fun incorporating stop motion into my daily collage. Now that I’m getting a hang of it, I can add techniques that I’ve been using for years in my photos. I was lucky that when I took my first photography class in high school (the mid-90’s) they were only teaching analog photography. I think learning about taking images (pre_digital) was such a blessing because you had to be creative and do everything in-camera, you couldn’t just slap a filter on it or use photoshop. It taught me to be selective, creative and really look at things and see through a view-finder. I’ve always been very picky about cropping and think it should be minimal, think about the image before you capture it. This informed me so much more than the fifteen year old me would ever know. Experimenting with image-making has always been what draws me into photography.
