大学時代に撮っていたような写真を、いつからか撮れなくなっていることに気がつきました。
#9 Photography In My University Days
Photography reflects your emotion
Recently, I've realized that I didn't take photographs like those in my university days.
Take a look at some pics which I took when I was a university student below.
I noticed small things in daily life, such as cumulonimbus reflecting puddle in the summer, gradationed coloured sky and moss breathing with moisture.
I like these kinds of pictures which show daily beautiful things.
However, in these days, I cannot take pictures like these.
What made this change?
After graduating from university, I was too busy to feel comfortable, so the chances to take photographs remarkably decreased, even though I had always taken my camera everywhere so far.
Photography reflects photographer's mind. As everyday life was getting so busy that I didn't have enough space to find beautiful things beautiful, photographs that I took became boring.
I have to get back my feelings in the days I took at that time, but I still don't know how to do that.
