New Hobbies are Cool in 2010 lol

I got a Nikon camera, I love to take a photograph. That’s a line from this Paul Simon song I grew up on called Kodachrome. I say that because I recently picked up a new hobby, photography. I’m not the flash in the pants picture taker and I don’t believe i’ll ever take a class or anything to improve my skill. The sole idea came to me when I would just see something in my mind would look cool and just take a phone picture of it. Of course what I saw in my head didn’t come out nearly to what I wanted on a camera photo.
I knew I just had to get another camera to use so I scooped up a Nikon camera and called a friend up and said, “dude this city has so many random places I haven’t seen and I want to take pictures of them” He was all for it so one weekend we just went to different neighborhoods and started shooting away. Turns out, my friend i’m shooting with has an amazing eye plus his camera was a lot more expensive than mine lol but I was seriously impressed.
Now, last week I come to one of my first filmmaking classes and we are discussing why are we in film school? So the convo went on and when it was our teachers turn to speak he said “ALL FILMMAKERS NATURALLY HAVE THE HOBBY TO TAKE PICTURES” so he encouraged everyone in the class to get a camera and just start taking photos. Immediately after class I called my boy and told him about what my teacher just said and we had been taking pictures for the past few weeks prior to this. Of course I got excited as I always do about something cool like that but who would of thought that about filmmakers because that’s exactly what I want to do.
I thought that was just a little something cool to share about what’s been going on lately. Now the weather will start to be nice again and darker a little later so don’t be surprised if you are in the city and see a large blackmaiin with a tiny camera strapped around his neck skippinG around, it’s just me with one of my new hobbies having fun on my free time.
K BYEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
