Why I took Photography
I took photography this year, because I wanted a way to connect with my Great Grandfather (Ralph Beiber) who died just a few years ago. He was a well accomplished photographer growing up and he even worked at The Ohio Theater for a time. He loved film, not just photography, but also movie making. He would drive my Great Grandma (Jean Beiber) mad, because on road trips he would want a shot of the RV and he would make her stop and turn around so he could film the RV driving by. Then of course she would have to come back and pick him up. It was a long process to go on a family vacation. After Grandpa worked at The Ohio he left and worked at The Ohio State University for a few years teaching photography. I am really hoping that this class will help me connect with him. I'm even using one of his old cameras to work with this year. I think it's going to be a really fun year. |
