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.

  7. Birds - Okay, so I have a thing for birds in flight. It is pretty difficult to make a nice photograph of one, especially with a phone, let alone with a decent lens. It is so effortless for them, yet so magical. One of my recurring dreams is to be able to fly like a bird.
