So, this is what I can do right now. These are some of my best photos taken since July 2006. From then until January 2007, I devoted a lot of my time to taking pictures. I love it. I know how to find and frame a scene, but I'm still working on the technicalities of the machine. I hope that I can work photography into a career at some point, or at least continue to experiment with this passion of mine.
What I really want is to photograph people. Anyone willing?
Photography has helped me to see. I notice things I didn't before and view old scenes differently. The seasons have renewed meaning and a more special understanding. I appreciate nature even more than previously. Colors, patterns, shapes, textures, situations, and settings are each seen and considered in new and better ways. Beauty is found in everything—the Zinnias of my neighbors' flower garden are beautiful in their colorful splendor of summer and in their brown, dying moments of late fall. My camera really has helped me to see the world better. There is something worth seeing everywhere. The beach, the mountains, and all between.
"The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera." - Dorothea Lange
