My Thoughts

Whether standing amidst the trees on a mountain side, in the tall grass next to a lake, on a city sidewalk, in the midst of a crowd, or at a park with my family, whether the camera is in my hand or not, I can't help but think of how best to capture the moment as it is. How to capture the glorious beauty of creation, the feel and flow of a building, the collective sense of a crowd, or the emotion of an individual. How to reconcile the technical with the aesthetic in order to faithfully represent the moment.

When done correctly, photography blends these aspects in a way that allows a viewer to enjoy the results without considering how they were achieved. Enjoying the emotion without being distracted by the details. Feeling the moment as it was originally felt.
