Howdy Mitch 
Every time I take a look at your Toronto pics, I get a wee bit homesick ... OK ... a LOT homesick. Keep up the great work!
P.S. How is it going at Ryerson?

Thank you
what made you take up photography?
why do you feel drawn to taking pictures of people?
what camera do you have?
what inspires you to take your pictures? (the nature ones in particular)
and i may think of a few more, but that is all i can think of at the moment

Uhh, well, I started photography in late gr.11/early gr.12. I'm not exactly sure why I decided to go serious with it, since I have always taken photos. Something in my mindset changed during that time I guess. It was a very emotional period, and a period of self-discovery. I think photography really aided in that respect.
To be honest, I didn't really know I was so prone to taking of people until you mentioned it now. I take photos of things that I find beautiful, spark my interest, or move me emotionally. So I guess it can be traced back to one of those reasons. I love my friends, and I feel happiest when I'm around them. I also love capturing moments in time. I love the basic idea of photography, as something that melts time into a single moment. Something that doesn't really exist in the real world. There isn't really such a thing as the "present", since every time we try to imagine it, it immediately becomes the past. I think that might be a quote from somewhere lol. But its true.
I own a canon rebel xsi (450D in the UK), and a minolta x-700. They are both decent cameras, and have done me well.
In regards to my nature shots, The reason why I take photos of nature is simple because I'm perplexed by its beauty. It also perplexes me that no matter how hard you try, a photo of this beautiful thing can never ever be as beautiful as the real thing. Because of that, I sometimes try to emphasize other factors to make up for it, or to make the photo beautiful in "its own" right... separate from the real thing. I try to make the photo beautiful in its own way. Key word there is try.
hope that helps..

You would think, given an empty room with a ton of seats, people would make an effort not to sit three feet away from me.

Hahaha, yes I would think that... What happened??

I was trying to write a fairly important email at borders (a bookstore with a cafe), and these people with a loud kid literally sat three feet away in a chair facing me. It ended up working out though. I finished it!

So i'm going to take a wild guess and say you live in T.O.
Do you go to school there?

Oh nice, nice. So if you love photography so much why didn't you apply at somewhere like OCAD? I'm not putting down the program at Ryerson, because I've never really looked into it, I'm just wondering!

ahaha, yeah i do. and yes, i go to Ryerson University for photography
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh sweet! I haven't really heard much about the photography program there. What do you think about it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, i personally like it. a number of people don't though. they complain about how they don't show or teach you enough in class, but i think they expect too much. its university, and in university they only teach you a fraction of the stuff in class... you're supposed to learn the rest on your own through reading and whatnot. thats just the way university is. and theres only so much they can do with three hours of class a week. right now their constructing a new image arts building, so the facilities aren't the best, but i don't mind the program. its half "hands-on" and half "theoretical"

That's true. Was Ryerson your first choice?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol well, it was my only choice really. my second choice was urban planning at ryerson, and my third was atmospheric science at york university. i got into them all, but, i love photography too much lol.

It was a really fun time. Overall it wasn't a tough time and was seriously the best time I've ever had. I wrote a song about it in my gallery called "1993 (the best time for me)"
