MY MISSION STATEMENT
| [a work in progress] when i first started taking pictures i was very careful, obsessed really, to taking a perfect picture. at school i was always occupied with technical precision and knowledge. now it's the opposite. when i make a picture, i try to remember to put the imperfections in. a good photographer knows that exposure, focus, the best equipment, possibly even light, don't make a good picture. it's the presence of the photographer. it's the way he/she understands the moment and the context and the setting. a good photo shouldn't just represent a moment, it should tell a story. therein lies the beauty of a photograph. its story. and the magical quality of the memories it engages and the emotions it sparks. a photographer is a storyteller, and we communicate in a very universal visual language. i want to represent what we miss when we blink, or what we see in our minds when we remember the moment. i promise to capture who people are and what they mean to me. to record what lies in the moments between shutter clicks. to document what's in the details and shadows of my (willing) subjects. i want the mind's eye to be my lens. to create a love letter to my life. |
