Photography

The beauty that resides in my front yard garden.

 The sound of a shutter echoes in my mind. A moment in time, forever captured. It is the essence of a photograph that captures people. It becomes so much more then the image and it's composition; it goes beyond the limits of a picture, beyond what you can see inside the frame. The laughter, the despair, the pure happiness, the heartbreak.

 A photographer can capture and embody each of these emotions like a reflection in a mirror. It is not as simple as picking up a camera and snapping a Kodak moment. The hardest thing a photographer has to do is make people see what they see. As artists, we see the world differently, we see beauty where there is nothing but destruction. Many of us say they are one in the same. We see the little details, the cracks in the sidewalk that make the biggest difference that most don't even seem to register.The world is full of hidden beauty and it is our job to show you how to find it.

 My world is forever roaming new ideas, captures that frame the beauty that is around me. Photography is not a hobby and it won't even be a career for me. If I could do it for free and get by, I would, because it is a passion. It drives me. It makes me want to travel the world, go to every little place and discover new things. All I need is a camera on my back, my heart on my sleeve and my love by my side.

That is what photography means to me.
