FILM OR PHOTOGRAPHY?

Lately, photography and film have been on an exponential rise and I love seeing all the creativity being put out there! I first started as a filmmaker over 10 years ago. Then a few years ago, I picked up a DSLR camera at Best Buy (a Canon Rebel xTi...old school baby!), and fell in love with photography, and dove more into that world. Since then, I've switched back and forth between film and photography because I loved each genre the same, but in very different ways. But this year changed something in me personally as an artist, where the line between film and photography has been blurred, and I see just one art form. FILM = PHOTOGRAPHY and PHOTOGRAPHY = FILM. A lot of people will probably disagree with me, but I say this to those people: "OPEN YOUR EYES!" After all, they're both visual art forms. In fact, I'm actually writing a feature film about my photography, so keep checking up on my blog for updates on that! For me, I've realized that even more than a filmmaker and even more than a photographer, I am a storyteller. Whether it's directing a short film, or shooting a wedding, I am telling a visual story that hopefully means something to the people that see it. 

Anyway, below is a video I want to share with you that inspired me to write this. It's the best domino video I've ever seen, and for me, I saw the love for photography captured in this video. Enjoy!
