Equipment is important, however, it is incidental to the true importance of photography… seeing.
Seeing, feeling, and framing is what really matters to me. I choose a moment, frame it quickly–with intent. Thinking, feeling, intuition, and imagination.
I have a personal imperative not to crop or change any content (not a “right or wrong” just a personal challenge and habit). I want to be creative and precise in the moment of clicking the shutter.
However I do love being able to process the image afterwards with a creative twist.

Jartgas: That is a lovely question. I know every time I travel I gain a deeper perspective on the world and especially on my life. I hope I become more open-minded and flexible. I hope that I am less materialistic and more concerned with relationship. I do know that I continue to develop a better sense of humor! I feel very lucky that I spend so much time in fascinating parts of the world and that I’m not always in my personal vortex. Cheers! nevada

This is a beautiful shot. Would you share the color processing. I love the sepiaish tint and the color of the flower. Great site and inspirational. I just used your quote on this photo on my blog? http://f3-2images.blogspot.com. If that’s a problem let me know.

Hi, I am young and still concider myself a baby in the photo world but there is something that I seem to enjoy more when a photograph is left as is. I know that everyone has their own interpretation on what looks good, but I have found myself looking at what is real.
I do love your photo and reminds me of a few that I have taken in black and white.
How is it that you have seen yourself grow and change after spending time in these places that so many of us dont ever get to experience first hand.

I absolutely love the image – the composition is gorgeous and the narrative speaks directly to why I love to make and view photographs. Inspirational.
