Rebecca Solnit and Wim Wenders Reading

I felt I had more of a connection with the Wim Wenders reading than Rebecca Solnit because it was more applicable to my studies.  Although getting lost to explore and deepen your senses is important, I believe capturing moments has much more worth.  Especially noticing the smallest things you have not noticed before can have a meaning or reasoning behind it, whether big or small.  I also believe that when you capture a moment on a camera, that image reflects you as a person.  I think it is important to have something that brings out your inner personality.  Capturing images is daring and definitely a risk taking experience, which does prove the type of person you are.  While walking through capitol hill, I kept looking for an item that would reflect me as an artist.  There honestly was not much there, but I happen to come across a small area that caught my eye.  Though what I found was smaller than intended, it does represent my thought process and is something that may be difficult for others to figure out.  Taking pictures is not just taking a picture of something, but rather capturing moments that tell an endless story.
