An Introvert in an Extroverted World

This past Thursday was my last Digital I class which means the final was due. The final project was a little intimidating, but I'd like to think I did a decently good job on it.
Throughout the whole taking photos process, all I knew is that I wanted to focus on landscapes and lines, and I went with that. I traveled across the island to Stony Brook, Port Jefferson, Greenport, and Head of the Harbor to find some pretty landscapes. Taking the photographs was the easy part, though. Deciding what they meant was the hard part.
I've never considered myself an artist. I guess I create art, but I'm not really an artist. Artist means you have some sort of creative, deep intent with your work, which I've never really had. I just take photos that I like and show them to people. 
As far as what my final means, I really don't know other than just the comfort of solitude. I am very introverted, so taking photographs that lack people and are abundant with silence satisfies me. I like landscapes because I'm not in a rush to get the perfect photo (which is very important to me). So I guess that's what my final means to me.
