The starting point...

Wednesday, January 13, 2010 Posted by Bart




Everything needs a starting point. Every piece of art, every painting, every drawing starts as a blank canvas. Every photo starts as an unexposed square of film (or used to...these days it’s an unexposed digital sensor). Nothing ever comes into this world whole and complete, instead being built piece by piece and growing over time. With this nothing is ever complete, as with growing over time, so does everything continue to grow if given the chance. At various points in time one can take a snapshot...a record of the current state...but then time moves on and things continue to grow.


I’ve been taking photos for a bit over 15 years now with various cameras and camera skills. Growing over time with experience and helped along the way with the insight and teachings of others. The digital age as brought with it an increased interest in photography which as a whole can only be a good thing.


From here I continue my photographic journey. This particular starting point has been preceded by many events photographically, from early astro-photography and sports to landscapes and through to portraits and wedding photography.


I guess the simple message of all this is....I’m not just another person with a camera.
