When I decided to try a hand at taking some simple snapshots I realized something really neat.  I went to Pt Defiance Park in Tacoma to take pictures of dahlias last year.  They plant hundreds of them and they bloom in the late summer.  I love them and they motivated me.  I saw so many photographers snapping shots with their professional cameras at the same time.  I'm sensitive so I felt bummed out with my cheap digital camera.  I snapped a bunch of shots anyway and had a great time staring at the flowers and putting the camera up to them.  When I got home and loaded the pics on my screen I noticed something.  It was that the camera responded and took the pictures on a more personal level than I had imagined.  It was as if the flowers were responding to my eyes and vice versa.  What happened was really a breakthrough in that it didn't matter if there were a bunch of people taking the same shots. My shots of these flowers would always be entirely different because of the way I personally viewed them.  This realization has proved true in all types of art including painting, music and writing.  It has inspired me to start studying energy and physics to name a few!  It's been fool proof and it shows that there is infinite possibilities for infinite artists everywhere to show us something important.
