Inspiring

Over the past 2 weeks I have attended two separate art fairs. Some very unique art, unique mediums, unique perspectives.

I don’t have a ton of artistic talent. I like to doodle, I used to draw floor plans of houses and rooms for fun (yes, dorky, I know), I did well in art classes in college, but those were more design-based.

One artistic area where I have always had an interest but no real tools is photography. I never had a good camera. I usually had a cheapo point and click. With a poor camera, came poor pictures.

This year I decided to buy a nice digital SLR camera, you know, the kind with a big-ol lens. I have found that I love to take pictures of architecture. Finding old buildings around town that are shuttered and ignored.

Walking these two art fairs I have become inspired. I need to make time to take more pictures. Show more from my own lens. This blog tells you what I am thinking. My music preferences say something about me. Now I need to let some photography show another part.

I will start sharing some images via picasa (Google’s photo sharing site). Take a look, comment, laugh, or just tell me that you visited the site (I don’t think I can track viewers, so I will never know).
