This is the kind of photo that is always a conversation piece and I love that it is a picture of someone I know. When I travel, I always carry a pocket photo of the people I meet along with a book and pen. I’m always eager to be inspired by a little glimpse into another person’s life and I find myself being inspired to find a deeper connection with others.
The people we photograph and the things that capture our attention often have a deep personal meaning for that individual. Whether it is a picture of a special occasion or a moment of inspiration, these photographs bring me closer to the people in my life. And I love when photographers capture a moment, or a moment in time, that is both beautiful and timeless.
Photography is an art form that is both visual and emotional. When photographers capture a moment they are often capturing an emotional response, a feeling of being connected to something or someone. When you’re watching a picture of someone you love, or a picture of a portrait of a loved one, you are looking at an emotion or a feeling. When you’ve captured a moment in a photograph you are telling a story.
Photography has been a part of our lives since the beginning of time and has been around for thousands of years. The art of photography has evolved and continues to evolve to keep up with the times. A photographer captures moment in time and has a unique skill with both photography and storytelling.
You can tell a lot about a photographer by looking at the pictures they create. They can tell you about the times they have been in and how the light has changed from day to day. They can tell you about the weather conditions. They can tell you about the type of light. The more you look at a picture, the more you will learn about the photographer.
That was the essence of the ’70s – a time when images were captured by a wide range of cameras, and when this was very much the case, a photographer could make a case for their art being more than just a snapshot. A photographer can make a compelling argument for their photos being more than just a snapshot.
I think it’s safe to say most of us tend to view photos as just one of a myriad of snapshots of the world that we have made. As artists we are constantly being bombarded with images and ideas from the digital age, and we’ve all probably seen images of people who look like we do or people who look like they do.
It’s really amazing how we have the same memories and the same feelings for people at the same time. Its hard to know when you’re a kid and you see a photo of your mom and dad at the same time it is in the same room, or when you first came out of the womb and your parents were in a room together.
Photography is a great way to capture moments that otherwise can be too fleeting to remember. A great photo always seems to capture a moment in time that you are able to see so clearly because the subject is so close to you.
The photo above is a perfect example of this phenomenon. The photo of my mom and dad was taken about a decade ago when they were both in the same place at the same time. In the photo you can see my dad with a bottle of vodka in his hand, and my mom standing in front of a mirror, with her hair in a messy bun. You can even hear the distant rumble of distant gunshots.
