Blog Prompt 1 & 2

1. A world without photographs? I don't want to imagine a world without photographs. If I do, the world would quickly become empty. Moments in time would never be captured. Memories would be forgotten. We would never see people we have only heard of. The world would be lost. But if the world never had photographs in the first place, they wouldn't know what they were missing.

2. What does the word "photograph" mean to me? Ever since I have been interested in photography and videoography I have been asking myself that. And honestly, I still don't know. I'm not great at writing my thoughts down. I'm much better at keeping them in my head. I feel if I start to define what photography is or what art is, then I stop growing. If I know what it is, will my work continue to grow? Maybe, maybe not. But I don't want to find out. I want to be open to all possibilities of photography. I want to absorb everything around me. So maybe I do have an answer: Photography is anything which doesn't help me define photography.
