Joyful Photography

Joyful Photography The art of photography has its origins dating back to the early 1800's when photographs were printed on pieces of glass and tin.
(1)

In that era, photography was a complicated and scientific process and few people had the capability to take pictures. Today, anyone can take a photo if they have a cell phone; capturing practically every moment of their life. However, taking pictures of your dinner isn't necessarily art; it's simply documentation of something that's important to the viewer. Photography as an art requires so much m

ore than just pressing a button. It requires special skills most of us don't possess. The ability to have painstaking patience, seeing something the casual eye misses, being able to transform the daily sights of our world into something that tells a story; these are the skills of a photographic artist. Bonni Myszka has these special skills. After humble beginnings as an amateur photographer, her work was noticed and she began publishing her photographs and receiving awards. She now has her work displayed in galleries and actively sells her photography. Her father, a Marine Corps Veteran, believed in her talent and encouraged her early in life by having her photograph Veterans' ceremonies. After he passed away, she continued her passion for documenting military ceremonies. Later, Bonni expanded her repertoire to include natural settings but never forgot her father's wishes to capture those Veteran events that were so important to him. She became involved with a veteran’s organization, volunteering to take pictures at Cape Canaveral National Cemetery along with other significant community events including Wreaths Across America, 911 ceremonies and Veteran funerals. Bonni's passion is about capturing moments that are integral to the appreciation of the wonders of living. She strives to embody the deepest essence of the natural world that surrounds us and the moments that will live in people's memories. She hopes her work will have a positive impact on its viewers and perhaps serve a greater good. Bonni believes you can tell a story in pictures, without words or narrative. Look deeply at her work and you will see the magic in even the commonplace, and from there, a story will unfold.
