Ansel Adams once said, "Some photographers take reality... and impose the domination of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation." Wow, does that speak to where my heart lies in photography. Some photographers have a creative ability to make a photograph as they want it. That simply is not me. My "gift" lies in an ability to see life as it is happening and capture it with my camera. Whether in my landscape, portrait or street photography you will see more and more this heart to "see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity" (another quote from Ansel Adams).
