My Eyes Your Light Blog: The Random Photographer Reborn!

When I received my first camera(film), I became a random photographer. I took pictures of everything, windows, lint, people picking their nose, stop signs, walls, spoons, birds, leaves, you name it. I just loved hearing the shutter go off with every push of the button. I pretty much kept a camera of some sort around my neck all the time and had one in the car. Everything was interesting and was a photograph to me. Well, as I got older and had children it changed. I, like others only have two handS and caring for two children did not allow for a camera around my neck. Besides that I would have misplaced the camera like I misplaced diaper bags and juice cups. Than digital camera became the new rage and my husband got a Canon Powershot Elf, it was 2 mega pixels and took a compact flash. It was a small compact piece of metal and still hard for me to tote around with my kids. I did still manage to take random images of things in different places, but the convenience was not there at all, and it was another thing I had to worry about losing. This is where I thank Steve Jobs for the iPhone, yes, I said iPhone. It brought new life for me when it came to random photography. I now have a camera that I can use in case of emergency. I can document my children's school events without looking like the crazy photography parent with every large lens and 60 pounds of camera bodies hanging from me. Whether it is taking a random image of a plate of food or a trash bag in the corner of some abandon lot, I can capture it. Now comes Instagram. All this random photo art can be viewed instantly by thousands after you take it and you can also see other random works. You can even have it printed out. One website is Statigram, it shares your stats, images, and also you can send for prints from their site. There is so much for all to be creative with, no matter how busy you may feel. Take some time and use that iPhone or whatever phone and create a random work. Believe me it will make you feel good:) Here are my random works of art all done with an iPhone. Enjoy.

All links to Instagram and Statigram will be blow images.
