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.

Looking forward to the moment…
-
Ride a horse, real or imagined. It is like no other.
-
Dancing Queen - One way to celebrate the human spirit is to dance. And if you are going to dance, dance with all your heart and with all your soul!
-
Youth - Joys of youth, it’s the little things that excite. Reliving these moments through my children brings me, ever so briefly, back to my youth.
-
Bubbles - An interesting observation about the physical and mental state of youth, especially when playing with bubbles. There are certain human activities that is universal, blowing bubbles is fun and makes us feel young, even when we are old.
-
Joy - One of my favorite pictures I’ve ever made. The sheer joy of being young and playing without abandon. What a moment in time. Experience it, capture it, relive it, that’s what it’s about.
