Cindy Knull bio picture
  • Greetings!

    When I was six years old, my mother gave me a diary.  I remember very distinctly that it was red with a little brass lock.  This began my journey into recording the details of my everyday life.  Writing has always been a love of mine and a necessary part of my self expression.  While in school working towards my English degree,  I had the opportunity to visit the John Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.  To my great pleasure, the feature exhibits consisted of many great Masters of Photography. One of whom was the great Andre Kertesz.  I immediately fell in love with his ability to form the perfect snapshot and felt something inside myself completely identify.  It was upon reading a quote by Mr. Kertesz that I went home and promptly changed my major to Photography.  The words were simply, "I write with light."

    I'm a street shooter at heart, who people hire when they want honest and intelligent images documenting personal events. I dabble in portraiture. I run half marathons. And write, a lot.

    I'm currently working on several personal projects. One of which is my first novel.

June Theme: NOW {Chelsey Scott}

Okay.  While there is no doubt that cameras have become so sophisticated they almost CREATE light..heh heh, I still choose to believe that sometimes you just have to work with what you’ve got.  Yes, go spend the money on a DSLR, it’s worth it as long as you learn learn learn.  Because no amount of money spent on a high end camera is gonna give you the perfect image.  No, that my friend, is going to have to be you with your butt in a seat somewhere learning from a professor, or in front of your computer or reading a book.  Then after you’ve sat on your boo-tay, learning what you can there, take that nice camera outside and shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot.  M-kay.  Now, having said that.  Come back to your little point and shoot because he/she or whatever you wanna call it, is still your friend.  Remember…still your friend.  I’m always rooting for the underdog.  So on a recent photowalk with I Heart Faces, I remembered my little friend…SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND…the Canon PowerShot SD800 IS.

Miss Chelsey Scott.

And back to my good ol’ DSLR camera.  Shot with my kit lens because my Canon 24-70L lens was rented out.  Why no 50?  I just didn’t want to work that hard.  Work with what you have.  And WORK IT.
