Rally for Higher Education

 

Yesterday I ended up in Frankfort at the Rally for Higher Education in the Capitol Rotunda. It was way crazier than I imagined it would be. Every school in the state was represented there with students waving signs, and chanting. The capital wasn’t even in this big of an uproar last week during the Save the Mountains protest.

 

I’ve inadvertently ended up shooting in the Capital a lot these days. I would really like to work on seeing things differently, like I did the first time I was there. It’s always interesting how things look way different the first time you see them than they do the second, or even on a repeated occasion. Thats one thing that is really hard about photographing your family, your hometown, or something you come in contact with a lot.

As photographers we must appreciate things like were seeing them for the first time but notice details like we’ve seen it 50 times. We must see in a way that no one else does, but in a way that others  can understand or appreciate. We have a gift of seeing the world in a way that is unique to us,  and I love every second of it.
