my background and education in photography isn't interesting. the publications and the awards aren't interesting.

the photographs i take can be interesting.

sometimes the photographs don't turn out how i planned, don't capture what i see, don't tell the story. weather, animals, people, inanimate objects refuse to cooperate and sometimes yes, I forget to reset the ISO...

but sometimes the stars align, the planning pays off, everything comes together in a fusion of light and shadow, colour and tone, balance and composition and they tell a story, capture a moment that can never be recreated, offer a perspective that would otherwise be unseen
