Intro To Me

i am abby.
i have never had a blog before and really the only reason i have one now is because of my Bible class in highschool. our assignment is to learn whatever we want. we need to pick a topic, set a goal, start learning, and occasionally write about it... here, on a blog. so here it goes... 
i have chosen photography for my project. i've always liked taking photos and looking at them and thinking about why the photographer took the picture that he/she did. i believe that pictures say a lot, about who the photographer is and what inspires them and motivates them. my goal for this project is to improve and advance in the photography area. i want to be able to take a picture and know why it's good, or why it isn't and be able to improve it; with different angles, lighting, contrast, colour, shapes, etc. good photography takes time and practice, and that's why i'm going to spend my time doing for this semester, and by the end of it i want to build a portfolio with some of my best shots from this semester.
i think i like photography so much because i like art and being creative. i think photography and art can be really inspiring and can tell you a story just by looking at it and examining the details. but the great thing about it is that there is no wrong story. there is no answer key. you can relate it to your life, or make something up, it is now yours to interpret.
so now, my project begins, i will be posting photos every so often, feel free to share advice, criticize, and give me some feedback. i would really appreciate it! thank you :D
