To take the intangible and recreate it to be tangible is a great feat, to say the least. It is a daunting task, yes, but I am up for the challenge.
Imagination has always played a role in my desire to make "intangible", well, tangible. Throughout the years, I have thought about ways to accomplish this self-given task. I found the answer through photography.
I don't meant to sound all "artsy"; I'm don't want to give you "artist talk crap"--this is just honestly what I think and feel: when I snap a picture, the picture isn't just of a person, an event, a street scene; it is a feeling, an emotion, a moment. When I hold that photograph in my hands, it is my tangible interpretation of a particular feeling, emotion, or moment: a representation of the intangible. That feeling or emotion doesn't just live in my head or heart now; it lives on paper. I can see what feelings and emotions look like--I can touch them; grasp them; have them. Feelings and emotions are real now; they have shape; they have a place; they have meaning and purpose. Feelings are made real by the click of one single button.
I am not a photographer, no; I would consider myself a superhero. It is a great accomplish to take an intangible object or idea, that resides only in one's head/imagination/heart. and create it to be touched, felt seen. I my mind, I have done that very daunting task with much ease, and have enjoyed every minute of it. I am my very own superhero, modestly put.
