Creative Practice Blog #1
September 1st, 2024
Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. Here I will be documenting my journey of exploring a creative practice. Currently, I have selected photography as my medium. Ever since I was young, I loved to take photos. I remember always having my camera with me and taking pictures of absolutely anything and everything. I feel photography allows me to capture the world's beauty in a way I can hold on to forever. While you may never visit a certain place or see a certain person again, a photograph allows you to revisit that experience time and time again. It's truly magical.
So, with this creative practice, I am aiming to explore the theme of community. Whether people are listening to a band play, exploring a museum, taking a painting class, or even watching a movie, they are united by one thing: art. It is through artistic practices that people are brought together every day. So, I want to use the art of photography to highlight this. I hope by capturing this theme, I will gain a greater appreciation for community, and it will allow others to see how it is all around us.
With this weekend being game day, I felt it was the perfect photo opportunity to capture the community of the University of Florida. Every home game, thousands of people come together to celebrate not just football, but the shared pride of being a Gator. They gather in the streets and in the stadium to cheer on their team. Every home game I find myself wandering campus, admiring all the families and friends who have set up camp. Everywhere you go, there will be Gators gathered together, cooking food, playing games, and cheering for the University of Florida. Which I feel is the perfect example of community.
