About me...
I am sure the reason I take so many photos is that I always hope my photos are better than my memory.
It is so easy to forget how amazing something looks if not captured in that moment in time. Time seems to rush by so quickly, and photos seem to capture time.
I am not a professional photographer. I enjoy taking pictures of places I visit and events I attend, and try to capture my enjoyment and appreciation of what I experience in the photos I take.
Photography is so much more than just taking a picture. There is of course the photo editing aspect. There is the more important artistic element that I'm sure comes naturally to some and may somewhat be learned by others. Photography is about discovering the beauty in ordinary objects, no matter how extraordinary they are. With photography you own the idea from concept to completion...from seeing something that pleases your eye, taking a picture that expresses your appreciation of the subject, editing the photo so you believe it is the best it can be and sharing your view with others. Photography allows me to live the moment a little more fully and share that moment with others.
I am still learning, but my desire to take photos encompasses more of my time than the time I spend on learning.
I hope you enjoy viewing my photos somewhat as much as I enjoy taking them!
