I take depressing photos

Starting to think I do.. the trend is appearing. Or maybe its more artistic? Sorry for the shabby editing. SOMEONE forgot to bring me photoshop.

Me against the world

Crowd photography

It’s one of the aspects of photography that really interested me. The opportunity to capture the atmosphere of the crowd and emotion of a person is truly amazing. Luckily for me, I got that opportunity today as I went to the ‘Japanese Day’ festival at ASB showgrounds.

Initially it felt kind of stalky, but after convincing myself that this is for the greater good of photography, I man’d myself up and started shooting everything interesting that I saw.

I found that children and old people were generally more interesting to shoot. The raw, natural expressions that a child makes is really remarkable. Similarly, being able to capture the wrinkles of an old person turns the photo into a history book; with each wrinkle telling a story of its own.

However, after 120+ photos, there’s only a few that I really felt obliged to share. Here are my first 2.

I wish you were here...
