Take ONE Photograph.

Well....here's TWO!

Much thanks to my Beautiful coworker for being my muse. Getting outside and being creative again has brought me so much joy these past few weeks . I wonder what brought me to this point. Why did I stop creating and doing the things I love?

What I liked about the car show in Watts is that it felt like a real car show with out all the paparazzi. All the instagram photographers were probably too scared to pull up lol witch was dope cuz there was only like 2 photographers there that day that I saw, the homie Eduardo & some older cat I see at different functions. #35mm #35mmfilm #shootfilmstaybroke #filmisnotdead #filmphotography #losangeles #thisislosangeles #watts #wattsup #lowriders #olympusstylusepic #candypaint #imnotaphotographer #ijusttakebetterpictures (at Ted Watkins Memorial Park)

Write ONE Paragraph.

I have been neglecting my writing exercises. I wanted to take this opportunity to note some things that have come up in my recent experience in photographing people again. I have shot with a handful of acquaintances and found that in this selfie age, people have a very warped and unrealistic image of themselves. Society is definitely experiencing some filter dysmorphia. Definitely guilty of this. BUT out of the five people I have had the pleasure to photograph, 4 of them where not happy with the way they looked in the images. Posting a selfie has become a hefty process of altering  and filtering a picture of ones self in to the perfect image that person wants portrayed to the world. I need to understand that their dislike of their natural image is not a reflection of my ability to take a picture but their warped image of themselves. 

NEW CHALLENGE: I want to be more comfortable in my skin and accept my image as it is. I will challenge myself to not alter my image with any filters or image altering apps.

Take ONE Photograph.
