Visual Poetry

I found it! The collaboration of two hobbies I’ve grown passion for; Poetry and Photography. As I was running my weekly Friday afternoon Costco errand for the family, my peripheral vision caught the cover of a book titled “Visual Poetry”. Intriguing. I automatically thought of a photo that tells a story. I grabbed the book and skimmed through the units, chapters, photos, etc. I fell in love, unfortunately I haven’t purchased it, and looking back I regret it, but the 10 minutes I took to read through it definitely gave me enough convincing to recommend it to whoever is into photography and want to work on mastering their skills. Even though my way of learning how to build up on my skills, in anything, is through trial and error and learning on your own, this book (or any of the matter) can be used as the catalyst that’ll help you learn from other people's vision and perspective. So next Friday, I’m definitely purchasing it. Check out Chris Orwig, an Author, Professional photographer of course, and Professor who put all the major things you’ll need to know about photography into this book.

Below is a video all about the book. Enjoy!

Featured: Photographers: Medina,V P.1

As I established this blog, I've quested for a good way of expressing my thoughts, feelings, beliefs, interests, etc. And now I've decided to step it up and show you my perspective towards a wide range of interests. As you've noticed, I have an eye for photography, at the elementary level, but i'm working on it. As I build up on my skills and talents, I try to learn more about those who share similar interests and hobbies.


Medina, Victor


Me: What Motivates you to Shoot? What do you quest for while you're in the mood to shoot?
Medina: Living life and abstraction of seeing what most people don't.


His response was simple yet intriguing, and the below pieces are a good demonstration of his statement.

Medina is that "guy" who is the right person, has the right eye, at the right time. Photographers take time and practice to capture strong movements and emotions correctly and immaculately. These few samples of his work shows you his natural aptitude and distinctive perspective towards paralyzing time and putting it to visual memory.

Peace and Salaam Readers,

I have been given the honor to be recognized at an international level in my home country Sudan. The english Sudanese newspaper The Citizendedicated an issue to me featuring a brief interview and two of my pieces: African Man andExotic Beauty with a Failed Identity. I'm extremely grateful and thankful, as I didn't realize such wonderful opportunities may come my way. This has definitely inspired me to become more avid in my rhythmic thoughts, poetic expressions, and philosophical thinking. Please stay tuned to more pieces, and hope you enjoy what I have accomplished thus far.

Love, Hhub, Resepct.
