the only reason I am putting this in here is because I felt the need to take a photo because after I was done taking a shower and thinking (I think very deeply when I am in the shower, don't ask me why) about how I choose to photograph things.

I do not like to manipulate photographs besides a little contrast or saturation change

I do not like to set photographs up

I do like to take photographs of how things really look and from different angles and perspectives, but literally, how they appear in real life



my photography teacher just told us yesterday that from now on, our photographs should all have meaning behind them, a story to tell, that they should be more than 'just pretty' - but I feel that some things are simply beautiful or enjoyable or ugly or painful to look at, and that there is not always a story, but maybe that is the story in itself.

oh man, what thoughts.
