DISCOVERING YOUR REMARKABLE WORLD

THE SWEET LIFE

{look closely & you can see bits of pollen still clinging to the fruit - macro photography is fabulous fun}

"Seeing, in the finest and broadest sense, means using your senses, your intellect, and your emotions.  It means encountering your subject matter with your whole being.  It means looking beyond the labels of things and discovering the remarkable world around you."

-Freeman Patterson

POWERS OF OBSERVATION

"When you begin viewing the world through a camera lens, your senses sharpen as your mind and eyes are forced to focus on people and things never before noticed or thought about.  I discovered that even if I didn't always take a picture, the simple act of carrying a camera and searching for something to photograph greatly sharpened my powers of observation and allowed me to experience much more of life."

YES, I SEE YOU

BLACKBERRY

"I never look for a photograph.

The photograph finds me and says: I'm here!

And I say: Yes I see you.  I hear you."

-Ruth Bernhard
