Goals for this Semester and about me

1. One thing that inspires me is wildlife. In particular predators. The essence of wilderness and the thrill of the hunt for me makes the for the best photograph's because the stakes are the highest: life or death. A mountain lion bounding after a terrified rabbit in the snowy colorado rocky mountains, is one of my favorite photos that shows there is still a portion of America that is mysterious, untamed and untainted from man. 

2.  There is no one aspect of a photo that i necessarily look for. However i am attracted to unusual content such as the tank man photo, that isn't necessarily the most clear or vivid photo yet its message is so powerful that it has gained notoriety. Another attraction to me is a beautiful contrast of colors, or lighting, when a photo just pops, its an easy attention grabber.  

3/4. The message I would like to display in my work would be to firstly show a correlation between my pictures and my emotions, and secondly i want to emphasize the beauty of nature and its importance and need for salvation. I have no experience with photoshop however so i am eager to learn the tricks to enhance my photography.
