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.
