“Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed. ” – Garry Winogrand
I suppose I'm primarily a "street photographer", even if I'm not not too strict about the definition. I try to find the extraordinary in everyday rural or urban life, a skill honed through observation, mistakes, and persistence. When the urge says, "capture this", I do it and ask why later. Sometimes, if and when everything aligns perfectly— skills, timing, light and luck—and I'll manage to freeze a unique and worthwhile moment onto a photograph. Capturing and sharing a feeling through a photo is challenging and I'm always in pursuit of that one epic shot.
