Re: "Fuzzy subject" graduate has an epiphany
I know a guy who used to work doing the grunt work of geology: claim staking, steam sediment sampling, surveying grids. Great guy, busted his ass. And the whole time he had his camera with him. Damn if he wasn't good with it, too. Especially taking pictures of the people he worked with or encountered on his travels across the planet. His photos are amazing, capturing subtle emotions and enviroments.
Field work takes its toll, and when he was approaching fifty, he went back to school, earned an advanced degree in art, and now teaches photography at a respected university. His photos have been in shows around the world.
I just think that is really damn wonderful.
