Making Music

I guess you could say I’m a musical person–I used to play the trumpet and the french horn. I sang in a choir and performed in musical theater. I am a Rock Band god. But when it comes down to it, I’m not a musician.

I perform what’s given to me, I can even add my own spin to it, but I can’t just create music. I’ve tried. The best I could come up with is cliched lyrics and extremely derivative melodies. I’ve tried poetry and writing short stories; I’m just not that particular brand of creative. What I can do, though, is take pictures. I love photography and the process I go through that gives me freedom to explore images and present them in a way you might not have seen before.

I may not be a musician, but I’m making music now…it’s just with photography.
