Happy Earth Day! Earth Day is a celebration of the Earth and all of its inhabitants. When it comes to photography, I love to take nature photos. Nature photos are so fun to take because every flower or tree or plant that I photograph is different. My very first photos were of flowers and plants. The photos above are the very first ones that I ever took. In fact, these photos were taken on Earth Day after a life-changing lesson on phototographer Ansel Adams. The photos that you see below are more recent photos that really show how much I've grown.Photographing nature- Earth Day style- was what truly made me love photography. I can barely imagine my life now without photography in it, because it has become such a big and important part of my life now.
Earth Day itself began in 1970 when Senator Gaylord Nelson started Earth Day as a day to go to colleges around the country and teach the students there about protecting the environment. So how did it become such a big deal? Well, it became what it is because people cared. People learned about the world and environment that we live in and they said, "Yeah, this is good. Let's make this bigger." And they did, and Earth day became the important day that it is today. Today, it is almost Earth Day and Earth Day prep is already happening. But you don't have to limit your environmentalism to just Earth Day. There are things you can do every day, things that may seem small but that still make a big difference. You can reuse and recycle, you can turn off lights when you are not in the room, and you can turn off the faucet while you are brushing your teeth. All these things make so much difference in the world, even if it does not feel like they do. Happy Earth Day!
