Several generations before me toted cameras around. The sound of a shutter release is a familiar one....Photography is about preserving moments, beauty, feelings....Does a picture evoke emotion? Does looking at a photo remind you of a place you've been, an exciting moment or a special slice of time when all senses were on full alert? Photography is also art....a way of looking at things that might change the mundane to the interesting, the familiar to the unfamiliar....A way of capturing a thing, a place, a person in a way that brings out all the beauty and mystery.....
