When I take a photograph, it is with the hope that I will be able to save a memory forever. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't. I'm a pathetic photographer...I use a really cool camera and rely on "auto" focus most of the time. With that said, I take far more pictures than the average person, and my goal is to capture the essence of a student, friend, or family forever. I love seeing people at a moment in time...good or bad...doesn't matter.
