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.

  1. 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.

  3. 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.
