Although my father has been a photography fanatic since before I was born, it took a long time before I felt the urge to pick up a camera myself. I found out that the capturing of a moment in this ephemeral life is more than just a snapshot. To stop a moment in life in its tracks has something magical in and of itself. Coloring in that moment to my own liking makes it my own, not just as a picture, but as a creative object.
