As I've discovered more about who I want to be as a human being, I've found myself exploring photography more and more. I think that photography is an invaluable way to express yourself and the way that you view the world. So without further ado, here are the two photos that mean the most to me.
This first photo is one that I'm most proud of taking. It was one of the first photos I had ever taken on my camera, and it gave me the confidence to believe that I could succeed in this area of media if I put the time and effort into learning more about it. Beyond the fact that its a pretty cool photograph, it also holds an emotional meaning to me, because I was with my best friend when I took it, I always have the greatest times when I'm with her and being able to experience the beautiful nature with her, and then capturing it on camera was an unbeatable experience. And I really can't stress enough how cool I think this photo is. I've lived in Colorado my whole life so eventually the "grandness" and "awe" that typically comes with the mountains has faded, but when I look at this photo I feel like I can understand what others see when they visit us and see a mountain range for the first time.
This photo however means a lot to me for an entirely different reason. This is my little sister next to me, and here we are at our first concert together. We got to see the amazing artist Hozier live and it was most likely the best concert I will ever see. While it is most definitely a flawed photo (lighting could be better, and there are a lot of distracting things happening around us) to me it tells a wonderful story. I will never forget how excited we were waiting in line to enter the venue, or Hozier's mannerisms that my sister couldn't help but comment on. ("It is so funny that he thanks us after every single song!") We laughed together here and cried together here, but I would not change this night for anything, and I am so grateful to have visual reminders to keep the memories fresh in my mind!
