Photography has always been a comforting way to capture a moment for me. I got my first phone in third grade and instantly started taking pictures of everything in sight. Ever since that day, I fell in love with photography. I soon received a digital camera and learned that photography has a deeper meaning than just capturing the moment. A photo has a story behind it and is complex, conveying a deeper meaning.
As I began photography class, I came to realize that capturing the moment was not as meaningful as the story behind it. I started to take pictures for photography assignments that portrayed a deeper meaning. I have been influenced by many photographers at MC and around the world that help me understand what photography means to me. I feel a personal connection to photography as I take pictures with my digital camera. When I have an assignment for photography class, I don’t just look at it as a checklist, but rather a way to express myself and my ideas. Photography is a way to express the beauty in the world, my ideas and so much more.

Exploring and expressing my creativity impacts my life because it allows me to feel like myself. When I explore and express my creativity, I feel free and able to do whatever I set my mind to.
