Stan's Seven Deadly Questions

What is your personal definition of photography? My personal definition of photography is simply what inspires you to take a picture. It's what you see that makes your heart burn with passion. It's what drives you to record and capture what you want to because it's precious to you or maybe to someone else. It's a way to express yourself that no one else can copy because it comes from you and it is a part of you. 
What is the difference between a snapshot & a photograph? A snapshot is what someone wants to record quickly so that they can continue in the moment. A photograph is the result of a photographer seeing the world in a new way and taking the time to show it to others through photography. 
What is a cliché? Name 20. A cliché is something that you see over and over again; something that has been over done hundreds of times; something lacking some creativity. Sunsets, babie feet, selfies, kittens, puppies, eyes, making symbols out of hands, food, coffee, fingernails, posed photos, lips, beaches, cityscapes, flowers, outfits, shoes, clouds, trees, and hair.
What is the most important thing in your life? My friends, family and people who inspire me are the most important things in my life. 
What is your greatest strength/weakness? My greatest strength would have to be my artistic abilities and having an open mind. My greatest weakness is being very hesitant and not being able to make a decision right away. 
What is your greatest strength/weakness as a photographer? I think my greatest stength is taking an object and taking close up pictures of it. My greatest weakness is taking a proper portrait and making it look good.
Where would you like to be as a photographer? I would love to be a professional photographer whether it be taking pictures for a music magazine or taking pictures of nature and selling them. 
What is keeping you from getting there? I think its because I still have a lot to learn about taking pictures and making them unique. 
If I could make a set of photographs, they would... reflect me as much as possible and express my inner most thoughts and feelings.
