Daily Photo Walk. Walk around the place you live. And with your eyes and camera find beauty. Make a Thing Everyday.
I found this flower on my daily walk. And I photographed it with a Fujifilm digital camera. And this activity “Daily Photo Walk” came about from a class I took at Cypress College. In fact, the prompt was something like Beauty All Around you.
We were told to make a photograph, but instead of going to a photo-worthy spot find it right there in the class or on campus. As you can imagine photographers think they need to go to some exotic place to make a good photograph. When in truth they just need to have a good eye for light and composition. And on crit day you could really see who could make a great photograph and who relied on where or what they were taking a picture of.
Can you make a nice picture from a Daily Photo Walk or is your photography more popular because of who you know or where your pictures are taken?
I was one of those people who was handed a great photo job and happened to know people who others liked to look at. And this made me wonder about my actual photography skills. And this is why I spent and still spend so much time taking photography classes.
Given these points, why not put your photo skills to the test? And make something meaningful from the world at your fingertips? And don’t get me started on which camera one must own to be a serious photographer.
