The art of magic? Yes, magic. Sounds silly, right? What am I, five? You were five once upon a time. Do you remember way back when Mom would magically make all the pain disappear by cleaning and bandaging your wound? What about when Dad magically fixed your toy train when in your mind all hope was lost and despair reigned because it had fallen on the ground losing two of its wheels? Magic existed then, so why not now?
Magic is about seeing no limits and making things happen with what you have. We all possess a great and unstoppable tool that all great magicians must master, a mind. Magicians make impossible things happen with what seems like the mere movement of a wand. Behind that simple act lie several tactics and preparations that must be thought of by the magician before his or her trick can be delivered flawlessly. One must learn and prepare him/herself to wheel this great magic.
I believe great photographers to be magicians, making impossible things happen with the press of a button. To become a great photographer one must learn, make mistakes, and rise to the occasion.
Photography: The Art of Magic was made to give a photography dreamer a space to grow and learn by accomplishing weekly photo specifications designed to broaden the mind. The goal is to post an attempt at magic every week. First post is set to appear on the 4th of December, 2010.
Comments and suggestions are highly welcomed.
Time to make magic ;)
