Kodak Moments in the Life of an XU Student

Xavierite Anthony Griffith, a senior Chemistry major, has the ability to see things that others cannot. A long –time supporter of the art of Photography, he began his own career about six to eight months ago; going from simply taking pictures to creatively using factors such as lighting and angles to uniquely capture moments. Anthony believes photographs are very important in our lives because they allow us to vividly relive moments and experiences in life that otherwise would have been lost. Also, photographs force us to slow down in life and actually analyze and appreciate the things we often take for granted. For these reasons Griffith takes his camera everywhere (even to class) to make certain that if he catches a moment, he is able to capture it. Anthony advises that you do not need an expensive camera to pursue your interest in photography, but most importantly one must have a passion for art; the camera simply enhances what one already sees. Having an eye for photography is truly a gift; one is able to experience our world in ways that not everyone can, able to see, value, and capture even the simplest things in life.
