photomatopoeia

pho•to•mat•o•poe•ia | ˌfotoˌmatəˈpēə |

noun
the image of a subject associated with what is photographed

Words certainly evoke the imagination, yet it is photography that evokes emotion. With the idea of experiencing photography, I want to change the conversation from the technical to the emotional side of what makes a good picture. Ultimately, we photograph to record the human condition, and without emotion, it’s just another picture in the sea of a trillion photos.

  2. Anniversary - Well, it was our 12th anniversary yesterday and we spent it just hanging out together, roaming Seattle. I reflect on the fond memories of the innocent past, the joys and challenges that have brought us to the present, and the hopes and dreams of tomorrow.
