A picture. Something so still and beautiful that no words are nessisary,just the beauty behind it. I wish to know more about photography. I want to know what makes it so special, yet so difficult that only a few can actaully capture the beauty in the breakdown. Maybe I am interested in it because I am unable to do it. I know that some of the things in life that you want are simply the things in life that you could never have. I want this, I try very hard but I still cannot be that which I try. I see these photographer that make everything so much more simpler and I adore them, I adore the very fact that they seem things so differenly than others do. They live through the lens of a camera, were I live life through a window in a C-172. I must observe the beauty and try to visualize what they see. I feel that this might mean that I must take pictures but that just makes this even more delisous. All in all this may be too difficult and I might venture into another feild which I may be able to watch others more closley, since photographers are alone and hidden themselves. I only with to share thiss with you.
Truly,

Amanda,
What lovely sentiments! You have a real way with words - a very unique voice. It's hard to explain exactly what "voice" means: I only know it when I read it, and you have it! There is something so genuine about your writing. It is very thoughtful, and I'm beginning to see that you are a thoughtful person, very self-aware, and also very aware of others and the world around you.
So true that many photographers are alone and hidden, although you might be able to observe a photography class, and/or conduct interviews with photographers. Don't close yourself off to this research idea, for it sounds like something you are very interested in. I am so impressed with how you've described this passion/interest. You aren't just interested in photography: you want to understand the beauty, simplicity, the stillness...where no words are necessary. You don't just want to understand photographers, but also how they see the world around them. These ideas are truly lovely, well-put, and very much worth exploring! I look forward to reading more of your ideas and thoughts on this subject and others.
