This video was about an inspiring group of individuals living in the slums of California trying anything to stay out of the drug and violence scene. They form groups, beginning with the Clowns, and just start dancing. They dance anywhere and everywhere. They say it is their way of expressing their anger without hurting anyone in the process. The original group actually calls their dancing, "clowning." But others form branches off of the Clowns and create their own style of dancing called "krumping."
So how does this relate to me?
I guess these people take their bodies and express themselves through dancing. In the same sense, I take my camera and express myself and try to give the audience the same feelings I had while taking the image, through my photography. I think that these folks, when they started this craze, in a way went through a journey of finding out who they were through their art. I feel that I am on that same path. I don't yet know how I want to use my photography or what I want to say with my images, but I am trying to figure it out through taking a journey behind my camera.
