Photographs and footprints

Photography is a functional art. Some people do it as a hobby while others do it as a career. Some take pictures to document a reality while others shoot to document a fantasy. Parents do it so they won't forget the changes their children went through. Others do it to have memories of what they went through. Some do it to record what the world around them went through.

Photography documents an event, an era, a culture. It tells a story. It makes time stand still or takes us back in time. It gives us an opportunity to reflect on things overlooked or missed. It allows us to understand things we might have been too young to understand. It touches the inner emotions and memories and connects us to friends, family, and humanity.

I shoot pictures because I enjoy capturing individuals in their memorable moments.  I strive to help people have their memories, their documentation, and their opportunities for understanding. It is wonderful to know that these images will ripen in meaning, value, and significance on the footprints of time.
