Daily Photography Walk 2020-10-18

Daily Photography Walk 2020-10-18. On the cool evening of October 18, 2020, I embarked on a peaceful stroll through the picturesque grounds of Cypress College with my camera in hand. My goal was to capture the subtle beauty concealed within the ordinary, and my lens was drawn towards the enchanting world of macro photography. Instead of seeking grand scenes or bustling crowds, I found myself mesmerized by the tiny wonders that often go unnoticed.

As I focused my camera on the minuscule details, I was amazed by the intricate patterns and textures that revealed themselves. The delicate veins of a fallen leaf, the iridescent sheen of a dew-kissed spider web, and the vibrant hues of a single flower petal became my subjects. Each click of the shutter was like peering into a hidden universe, one where the ordinary transformed into something extraordinary under the scrutiny of my lens.

This photographic journey through the microcosms of Cypress College was a reminder that beauty exists in the most unassuming places. It was a day when I celebrated the exquisite intricacies of nature every day, for it is within these small wonders that the magic of our world truly thrives.

Make a thing every day.

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.

In 1976 I was in the 6th grade. And my teacher was a blonde long-haired surfer name Rod Gaeta. And during class one day he gave me this record. More importantly he was not a creep. In fact, he was the kind of teacher who wanted every student to know they had no limitations.

Thank you Mr. Gaeta.
