There is a change in the air…

I love moving to a new city and being encapsulated by beauty. The mountain ranges of Las Vegas and the Cherry Blossoms that dominate the walkways.

Who new Vegas had beauty outside of the strip? Shiny flashy glowy expensive. I’m in Vegas, dead broke and each day I experience something new. Some beautiful realization wonders its way into my senses.

These things build a trust for this city. A warm cozy feeling that the loneliness and uncertainty tried to hide from me.

This place is beautiful. Did I mention that, yet? I feel inspired and beyond the four white walls that bond me, I can hear an opportunity knocking. I can feel a shift from left to right, my vision changes with that shift and I am embracing the emergence of a creative self. There will always be the other side if in case this one doesn’t provide. Independence is a hard animal to catch, but keep pursuing and the hunter will always catch the game.

Now to update my blog. No longer am I an Austinite, I am a Las Vegan and now I have a new playground to fall in love with.

oyster landing marina - zig zag

I am a mere novice in the art of photography and do not expect to find something great , aside from within myself. But I see photography as a way to view and capture the world, and a way to leave behind the stress of the daily life. A self medication.

As I was being entertained by the lonely boats on an overcast day, I noticed on my camera’s LCD screen a prominent mercurial zig zag taking up my picture. It wasn’t obtrusive though, and it contributed variation and depth to the story of the shot. The zig zag became my subject. The boats and the dreary sky became its setting. Being in my early stages, I enjoyed taking this simple picture. Maybe only I see it. But really, that is all that matters at this point.

I did not include the technical information of the shot, as I do not think it is of much mention with a digital point-n-shoot.
