Stories



I love the story dimension of photographs. With the press of the shutter a story is caught; when others look at the picture new stories are created. For me, the stories and emotions that are captured and created in a picture are what make a photo truly compelling.

A single book, forgotten and left on the table, is the story of a school boy eager to play outside on a golden, September afternoon. It's the story of school days and boyhood and a mother happily watching her boy run. But, those aren't the only stories... the rest are up to you.

Yes, yes, yes. What you may walk by, thinking unremarkable, becomes truly memorable once captured on "film."

Well, said. And love the striking photo.
