Photography is a big part of my family. I've always loved taking pictures. Capturing places, people, memories. You get to capture a certain feeling and hold on to it forever.
Photography is emotion packed in to pixels. Every person who looks at your photo should feel something. Maybe not the same thing you felt when taking the picture. But they should feel something - happiness, sadness, excitement, nostalgia.
When I pick up my camera, I feel all different things. Mostly, I feel privileged to be the one capturing this moment. I feel excitement and bliss.

I love to write, and this quote is one of my favorites. But I like to use it for photography too. Photography should make you feel as if you're right there laughing with people, sitting in a field of flowers, on top of the highest mountain, or in a creepy awesome house.
You should not just see it, but feel it.
What is photography to you?

I'm Abby. 14 year old homeschooled girl. I sing in the shower. I'm really short - 5' 1". I love to capture simplicity in my writing and photography. Going
to Hogwarts is at the top of my to-do list, and so is meeting Flynn
Rider. Happy endings are the best. I love to make people smile. Come visit me sometime.
