-Time’s Visual Echo (my opinion)-

Photographic solitude can give perspective.

It can restore the heart and mind to levels beyond expectation. What we do in these quiet moments with camera, lens, and captivating world can be restorative, revealing, and insightfully profound.

And after that…what then?

The harvest from a moment often asks to be shared. It wants to be consumed beyond its own self nourishment. It has the compelling desire to be quenched by another’s appetite. To be fully seen and read by other eyes.

The riddle and rhyme of photography is that the artist is always hungry. Starving to press the shutter again. Feeding an insatiable need to capture, tell stories, express to the world our take on life. It’s the personal footnote of the individual’s record, adding greater depth and finer meaning to the collective subconscious. The still half-composed symphony of our human experience.

Photography’s meaningful place is ultimately derived from individual notes. The single press of the shutter to record a possibility from the infinite impossibility of its own music. This complex nature allows time’s movement to still be visually heard. Irretrievable sound but viable echoes, nonetheless, it forever holds the fading rhythms from the places we’ve been to and the faces we’ve seen.

Photographs are the thin layers of a melody of the emulsion. The digital sensor pass that steals slices of time’s unstoppable soul.

And every photograph…everywhere…that shares a moment, great or small, adds a slice of appreciation and understanding to the collective whole.

No matter how quiet or lonely their capture, photographs are meant to be shared. They are the haunting voice of color, light, and moving time. Their sounds write the visual history of who we are.

They forever hold the vanishing seconds, still to be pondered, looked at, and without hurried rush to the next image…truly seen.
