~The Little Things That Count~ By Carson McGrath.

~Artistic Statement~

he things in life that are the most beautiful are not the things that man has

built, but the little teeny tiny things that you don’t usually notice. Things that are

there for one second, but gone the next. However, my goal is to take those little

fractions of a second and make them last forever.

I want to be able to capture the hairs on the back of a fly, the I also want to

capture things that are only there for a moment; like a bug tangled in a spider web,

because these are the types things that won’t be there the next day, or hour, or

minute, or even second.

I want to be able to see what is going on in the scene other than just

glancing at it and then it’s gone.

For me, it’s the little things that

count.

~Biography~Usually when it comes to art, I am not that creative. Except for photography.

As a photographer, I enjoy taking pictures of my deepest passions. A couple

things that I like that I am capable of using in photography at Canyon Crest are

sports and the outdoors, so this is what I focus on in my images. I also like to

incorporate very vivid colors like Galen Rowell did and try whenever I have the

opportunity to put as much color as I can in my pictures. Also, although I have

molded on the type of shots I like to take, I have found that taking pictures of

small things that are usually hard to see are what I enjoy. I started

photography in my sophomore year at Canyon Crest and have always like

taking pictures of these things, even as a beginner. I was born April 26, 1990

and ever since then I have been interested in getting a different view on things

that you don’t see everyday. I am a…… student. Teenager. Athlete.

Photographer.
