What Is So Important About Taking Pictures, Really?

In a pixel-related world, that has even higher resolutions than the real world, one can just think about the tendency to make life vivid through clear and pretty images. Usually, pictures are clear and focus on abbreviating all the real-life mess one has in definitions to different parts of their faces. Every picture you might click with the phone comes out to be a big blurry mess. In reality, I just use filters to maximize the potential a picture can have depending on the subject or portrayal of the image.

We zoom in on our pictures to get the best view of the landscape or subject in the image. I snap a picture and immediately construct it into a reality of my own. The picture becomes a prize or an absolute destructive art piece. Honestly, what I find important is to take the picture as is and not make It angular or even limited in any space or sense. There is more to artwork than screwing it up and idealizing an image that goes far beyond our superficial and normal senses. We create pictures with innovative technology and make it our pastime.

I lived and learn through taking so many pictures with a lower resolution camera than a higher one. There is really no point in taking clear pictures at all in at any point in our lives. I find it easier to accept our own flaws than paying attention to all the intricate yet pixelated details. The camera is not our best savior. We MAY look like empty on the outside and look the same on cameras, but it is just mix and match. The way we recreate all the pictures is to make it seem like a new dimension which we haven't yet learned to embrace in our original selves all decked with the purest purity one can achieve. It's not crude to say that our biggest forte is snapping a picture and spending away all our emotions into its detail. Nonetheless, I fail to understand it is just a picture, a delusional hierarchy of the surroundings and viewer captured on camera. I know how crazy it is to realize that these things are not matchups of real life or something of that sort at all. The beauty of it all rests in our ability to take a picture, not mess it up with different specs or filters to enhance the original beauty a picture can handle. If I had to depend on my photo-taking skills, it would be best and beneficial to appreciate whatever picture I take so to submerse myself into the world and its beauty.

Beauty within pictures is comparative and ideological. We take in what we see and use a technological advice to make memories which are saved and detailed. Even if it doesn't come out right, our bodies shut down and cause us some emotional despair. We need to stress ourselves in taking the picture perfect picture. I can't stress enough how important it is to look into the original pictures and love them as is because they are more important than you would ever think.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
