Interview


I interviewed my mother Christina Shaw, on May 7th, 2012 about photography; asking her questions about her favorite type of camera and what photography is to her. My Mom isn’t a photographer but she can take some amazing pictures.  She works at Holy Angels with autistic children and is thirty-two years old.
1    What comes to mind when you think of photography?
I think of amazing pictures, people taking them. Wishing I could do exactly what they do.
2    Do you have a camera of your own? If so, which brand?
I do, and I have a Kodak EasyShare camera.
3    Do you know any professional photographers?
Not personally, but I know of a few. My sister Donna isn’t a professional but she should be, you should see the pictures she takes.
4    What in your opinion is the best type of camera?
Probably a Nikon, but one of the better types. Like this one;   
5    What are your favorite landscapes to capture?
I enjoy taking pictures at the beach, especially at the sunset. Or my kids, I love capturing them in their best moments, or even their worst and being able to look back.
6    Is that your favorite thing about pictures? That you can capture all the memories?
Yes, I love that. I love knowing that even when my kids grow up that the pictures won’t change, they’ll stay the same. We can look back and laugh or remember the moment.
7    Who got you interested in photography?
Myself, honestly. I just remember looking at sunsets and wanting to capture them, but knowing I couldn’t.
8     If you could, would you become a professional and make your own studio?
I would love too, but honestly I don’t think I have the talent. As amazing as that would be, there are much better out there.
I thanked my Mom and let her go. I think the interview went well, I found out things I didn’t know before. The fact that my Mom is interested in photography to a minimum still fascinates me, I’ve seen the pictures she takes, and I think she could do it.
