After getting my camera at the end of freshman year, I brought it with me
on bike rides around the Skokie Lagoon. I had previously gotten some neat
shots of bugs with my film camera and now that I had a digital camera was
intent on getting neat bug shots that were in color and that I could view
instantaneously. Since I didn't know how to use "manual mode" yet,
many of the photos turned out blurry, but after rediscovering my old photos
I found a few that are pretty detailed and well composed.
A lot of my old photos were of the heads of flowers and individual bugs,
whereas my photos nowadays usually incorporate abstract angles and
landscapes to make the composition more interesting. I think that's because
I started photography as more of an objective recorder whereas now I'm
more creative and keeping in mind what sort of visual argument I want to convey.
