noun

the image of a subject associated with what is photographed

Words certainly evoke the imagination, yet it is photography that evokes emotion

A conversation about photography. Let's talk about how photography makes you feel, the emotional aspect of somehow identifying with the story presented in front of you. I believe it is less about the technical aspects of a "good" photograph, rather more about, what story it tells and perhaps why, but more importantly, how it makes you feel.

If you feel compelled to comment, I'd love to hear about your reactions to the photographs. I will attempt to post here on a daily basis, at least that is my goal.

“…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)
