Photography.
I guess for me, what's really special aren't those once-in-a-lifetime shots that are uncomprehendingly spectacular, with angles so perfect and balanced, light and shadow giving such a dazzling range of tone and rendering. It's not those breathtaking shots that millions would travel miles just for one day and stay up all night just to catch a glimpse of it, and yet there would only be a one in a million shots that would define perfection in all its glamour.
I like to think beauty is in every day, in every way, in every place and in every space (I'm on a rhyming role here). To me, it's not the greatest shots of all time, but rather, the everyday things you see, whether it be collection of your favourite things to the 'normal' grey skies we see in spring. Because I believe that each and every cloud formation is unique, and beautiful in its own way.
Who said art had to follow any structure or form to be beautiful? Who said art had to be exclusive? I say art is everywhere; it surrounds you and all it needs to be is taken through a lens. It doesn't matter how great your camera is, because even a phone camera can take shots that a DSLR can't.
Whoever said average isn't beautiful? (:
And maybe I'm being ignorant, because yes, once-in-a-lifetime shots are really only seen once-in-a-lifetime... and praise the Lord for people's God-given talents in capturing His masterpieces. But let's just say for once: Ignorance really is bliss. Because just look at the skies for once. The average, everyday, normal skies that are always with us... how hints and tints of blue seep through billows of darkened fluff, and yet the clouds maintain their heaven-like serenity with the soft blurs of white. They float up there, unhinged and unbound... and the rays of the sun escape their hold to bring warmth to the earth. We soak in the sun's heat, and we treasure the tears of the sky...
... And we are relieved by the rainbow of promise that follows after the storm.
So, it's not all about the rarest shots in the world... well, not all the time at least (:
LOL, Sarah.
Average, everyday shots taken by me on my phone camera. (:
