Grateful for Photography - a photo on Flickriver

            This is the camera owned by Walker Evans exhibited at the George Eastman (Kodak Museum).  Last weekend when I went to the Art Institute, I overheard a conversation in the photography section of the museum about how it's difficult to find the balance between being in the moment and capturing the moment. I think this is even more true now that photography is increasingly accessible to everyone.  However, it was my first true love when I turned 16 and more interesting that any of my first dates.  Photography gave me a way to take some of my inside ideas and big emotions and show them on the outside when I was frustrated by drawing and painting and how bad at it I was.  I spent many long hours in the dark room of my high school, hiding out from the whole world and experimenting with multiple exposures.  My favorite thing about my high school (and one of the only good things) was unlimited clay for my sculptures and unlimited film and paper....which, was truly incredible looking back on it.
