Seeing the Ordinary as Extraordinary.

My favorite pictures to take are of things that most people will just pass by without seeing the beauty in them. I try to take pictures of normal everyday sights, and make people turn their heads and look again. Everyone should appreciate this world and all the different things we were blessed with. I believe a great way to do this is by capturing these things in the moment. Sometimes, I'll be driving down the road and I'll see so many opportunities to take an excellent picture. It's hard to shut off at times. ;) Sometimes I'll make my mom stop the car so I can take the picture. Everythig is beautiful in one way or another. I just try and find that beauty. These are just a few more of my pictures that I took a while back. Sadly my camera is currently broken... :-( It's like a family member was lost. I don't go ANYWHERE without it, and after a few action shots by the pool....it is now dead. But I will still find a a way to take pictures....hopefully. It is one of my favorite things to do, right up there under singing...and if you know me that is saying a lot, because singing is my favorite thing in the world. I look up to Dewitt Jones. He is a world famous photgrapher for National Geographic. His pictures are so insperational. I would love to grow up and be able to take pictures for a living. What is greater then seeing the beauty in something and capturing it in a picture that will last a life time? To me, nothing is greater then that." Creativity is the ability to see the ordinary as extraordinary." - Dewitt Jones
