my philosophy on photography



tell me about a person without using words, and make it descriptive. who is he? what does he care about? what makes him smile? frown? with whom does he associate? and how many wrinkles does he have? tell me – but don’t say a word. take a photo.
...not a photo of him posturing a smile in front of a trite backdrop. but instead, take a photo so that i, the listener, might indulge in his emotion. feel what he is feeling. and understand his thoughts. tell me. show me. captivate me.

my brother, david, comforted and loved our family cat for all of her life. the day before she died, above, was no exception.
