Words certainly evoke the imagination, yet it is photography that evokes emotion
Welcome and thanks for visiting my little daily photo-blog. My name is Mark Gsellman and I am a photojournalist and a bit of a technologist.
I have been wanting to host a conversation about photography for some time. The conversation I want to have is about how photography makes you feel, the emotional aspect of somehow identifying with the story presented in front of you. To me, it is less about the technical aspects of a "good" photograph, but more about, what story it is telling and perhaps why, but more importantly, how it makes you feel.
This is also a creative exercise for me, to try to visually record the world around me.
If you feel compelled to comment, I'd love to hear about your reactions to the photographs. I will be posting here on a daily basis, at least that is my goal, to try to post at least one photo a day.
Boy, it’s been a long time since I posted anything. Life has been busy, so I thought I would start out with a photo of something you might see while doing much of nothing, like laying in bed until late morning. Does it work?
Engaging Teachers - “Watch the hummingbird, listen to its wings pop as it dives…” Engaging teachers make for learned students. Do you remember that one teacher who connected with you and changed the way you viewed the world? (See more photos of the “Pond Kids”, click the photo.)
Jump in, get wet, it’s only water and best of all it’s fun. Take advantage of life’s simplest pleasures, especially when moments present itself.
