My Supportive Wife . 191010

October 19, 2010 by admin

done on 4 x 5 B&W negative.

Photography as an ART is emotional! You photograph what moves you. You photograph that which makes your blood rush inside you. You photograph that which makes the pores of your skin tingles. You photograph what drives you. You photograph what you MOST love.

If you love something or someone, you will photograph it/him/her.

At least, that’s my belief.

When you have problem pointing your camera at someone real close to you in your life, it shows some relationship struggles/entanglements/problems you need to confront. Well, at least that’s for me.

Photography NOT just helps me discover about my surroundings BUT helps me discover about myself. I thank God for photography. He speaks to me in photography.

There is no substitute for the person I love and respect in the above photograph. Not ever.
