Webin' the Net is a platform for students from the Art Institute to participate in a group blog. Each week students from Web Portfolio I will come up with a concept to illustrate with a photo and a few thoughts about how that photo fits the concept.
We call them "conceptlogs".
Last night I dreamed she came back again, a lovely ghost of an unknown friend. She was never known in this life of mine, a faded beauty, withered in time. She came with the wind, dancing in the low-light. I asked if she'd stay, hoping she might. She smiled and spoke of love for always keeping her visage with me -for all she ever wanted was to live in someone’s memory. To be a timeless beauty had always been her dream. She wanted to be known and share everything with me.
Over the past few years I have become a collector of antique cameras. One of my favorites is my Polaroid Land Camera. Although this beautiful camera will not fire (due to a faulty shutter spring), it always gives me a sense of nostalgia. When I look at it, I am reminded to think about the basics and not get so caught up with the fancy gadgets of the digital age. Its all about making good photography. How you do it really isn't that important.
