if you don't do drugs, you get a C A M E R A {June 9 // 163}
• 2nd Avenue and 23rd st, nyc
Yup, if you are a good kid, you get pretty things like a D S L R camera. At least that is how it works in my family. And it is the illegal kinds of drugs I speak of.
My first camera was my dad's Canon AE-1. The first taste of taking pictures occurred when we went to Niagara falls (I was 10 years old) because we had some relatives come from England -- that was the first time my dad let me touch and take pictures with his camera. Secretly did he not know that I use to go into his closet all the time to play with his camera when he was at work. The moment I got my hands on that camera, I was hooked. I thought of all the ways to frame a shot and I kept imagining the world from behind the viewfinder. Sadly, I had a slight detour into the video world when I jumped onto the film bandwagon because we got a small camcorder.
It wasn't till many years later, once I finished my first university degree and was onto my second, I bought a point and shoot with manual capabilities. I did what most goof balls do with their first digital, point and shoot camera. I took pictures of food, silly faces my friends made and video taped even sillier things like my friend doing a handstand. It wasn't until I went on a trip to Washington, DC, placed the camera on the ground to capture leaves on 'O' street near Georgetown University that my true embarkment into photography was rekindled. That was the first trip I waited for the right light and mood. My first series of photographs from that trip was entitled, 'From the Ground,' which is a series that I will continue till I die -- I just love the perspective you get from the ground. And so I fell back in love with photography. I also think this is why my favourite picture is the one titled 'A quite walk with leaves' because the moment I took it, it brought me back to sneaking into my dad's closet, taking his beloved canon out and viewing the world through the viewfinder imagining what types of interesting moments I could capture in still motion.
When I got back into photographer, I watched a documentary about a fellow that gave up his life to bring us pictures of dangerous world events so we could see first hand what our eyes would never see otherwise. After that, I wrote this little snippet to try to understand what I saw, work through why I take pictures and where I'd like to eventually go with my photography... I left it just the way I wrote it many years ago on first pass...
The photographer catches life through a lens, never stopping to think, or help. All lenses are passive, capturing a moment in time, never interfering with the images of its affection. Our eyes are passive to the world before us; we see injustices all the time and just turn our cheek, our eyes. Are we any more different than a lens, a photographer who captures moments with affect, without lifting a finger to change something before them; are they no different than a person who walks by a begging child and gives them no attention. The only difference is the lens looks directly at what it neglects, while the eye ignores it, pretends it never existed – out of sight, out of mind. The lens demands us to see what we turn our eyes away from, demands for us to look, focus and bring it into our minds, into our attention. The lens will change something before our own eyes do – that is why I T A K E pictures.

STS056-151-163 Rhodope Mountains, Struma River, Greece/Bulgaria April 1993
Covering the left portion of the image, the rugged, snow-capped Rhodope Mountains can be seen in this southeast-looking view. The Rhodope Mountains stretch northwest to southeast along the Bulgarian and Greek border 200 miles (320 km). They are forested and have very few passes. Just to the right (west) of the center of the image, the Struma River Valley is visible. The Struma River rises in the mountains of western Bulgaria (not visible in the image) and flows generally southeast for 216 miles (348 km) before emptying in the Strymonic Gulf (upper right), an arm of the Aegean Sea. Numerous canals have been constructed in the northern Struma River Valley (south of Kerkinis Lake) to support agriculture. To the right (west) of the river valley are the Pangaion Mountains, a low range of mountains that in ancient times were known for their gold and silver mines. West of the Pangaion Mountains is Voevi Lake.
