Photography is about catching moments, especially those extraordinary moments that we happen to glimpse ever so briefly, so that we can share them, so that others can experience them. Knowing these moments are out there, photographers track them down and hunt them; waiting for life to fall into place just so, angling to create the perfect composition for their art, and revelling in their capture.
