There is something magical about narrowing the focus of a scene through a camera viewfinder. I first realized this using my Dad's old Minolta camera in the 80's. Learning about aperture and shutter speed, film speeds and the thrill of waiting to see what would come out in a few weeks on slide or print. The digital revolution allows us to assess and fire away at will in a way we never would have believed a short time ago, and most of this is for the better.

When we frame the world we are making a choice. One can focus upon the litter on the beach to make a statement about our detrimental impact to the environment, or you can aim up and give hope that a view of a pristine landscape half-way around the world may just make someone's day a bit better. I usually choose the latter, but there is always an internal struggle.

I've been at this for well over 30 years now, but I still get ignited by the soft light of the 'golden hour' on sculpted rock formations, or an ancient temple, or more importantly illuminating the faces of people in their happiest moments.
