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.
Joy - Laughter and good times, good people, good food and sometimes good spirits. Have fun, live long, be good… Life.
Adventures abound. This world is full of adventures, many are just round the corner from home, you just have to open your eyes and take a step outside. A new cycle has begun, embrace it.
Support your local musicians and artists… they enhance our lives and the life of the community. Encourage them to perform or showcase their work to your community often.
“…Everyone had been waiting all this time for the Herdmans to do something absolutely unexpected. And sure enough, that was what happened. Imogene Herdman was crying. In the candlelight her face was all shiny with tears and she didn’t even bother to wipe them away. She just sat there-awful old Imogene-in her crookedy veil, crying and crying and crying… Well. It was the best Christmas pageant we ever had…” (photos)
