A DISNEY DREAM.

Audio Interview on Sophronia

Sounds On The 7 Train.

"Stand clear of the closing doors please," was the first thing I heard once I got on the 7 train. I enjoyed this exercise because I never got the chance to focus on my surrounding sounds since I always focus on my music or phone. Aside from hearing the conductor, I right away heard piles of conversations.  A group of teenage boys making jokes on one another using the entire cart while they had a conversation with one another. I also got to hear teenage girls who were close to me, gossiping. There was also the sounds of really loud Spanish music, that I was personally able to "jam" too since it was a horrible choice of song. One sound that I would have never thought I would hear in a loud train was the sound of someone typing on their iPhone. However, the most over powering sounds came from outside the train. The train riding on the tracks was the obvious and loudest sound I heard. While the train was arriving the it's stops a rich squeaking sound accruing, to the point where it gave me "goosebumps" because it sounded like a scratch on a chalkboard. Also one of the strongest sound is the sound of another train passing right next to the train you're in, I was also about to feel it which made the sound a lot more interesting. I chose the sounds of the 7 train because it's the train I mostly take and I never paid attention to a ride home until now.

It is common for students my age to have a passion for film and wanting to become a Producer. With lots of years of studying, filming and connecting, it's what almost everyone know me as, a Producer. Behind every Producer there's another interest. There's a passion of mine that is hard to express through writing without being able to show it. Writing about it makes it difficult because I am not one to sit around and talk about myself. In reality I get the feeling of being enclosed when I must sit in front of a computer and talk about myself using words. I like to be free with space and time which is why I have a stronger relationship with the wilderness. The feeling of being free and being able to explore in many directions without being closed is what stops my brain from exploding. When I get to travel to different destination it's nice to learn about the nations culture but my interest goes straight to a kingdom, a place that is hard to explain the way it looks by just talking; it's something that must be taken and saved. A place where I know I would be able to capture my visions freely, no restrictions just distance, distance that will challenge my capacity to move left, right, up and down. Being a wildlife photographer has made me feel accomplished with my photography because I am able to focus, at the same time work as smart as the animals to be able to click my cameras button multiple times and "walla" have a photo. Through my work I would like people to feel inspired and strive to have the same passion so our work could relate. It's not more or so the connection between my camera and my self, nor the connection between my camera and the animals in front of it, it's the connection between the acknowledgment of being able to run free.
