The magic of photography has not only intrigued me, but the translation from the click of the shutter to a finished image has always astonished me. A photograph - something that can make you laugh, smile, retrospect, contemplate, affect you in so many ways. I learned the power of a single photograph a long time ago when I gave my very first love her birthday present. I sat there while she went through every image ?? through every emotion. I could not wait until I pursued my passion in a larger way.
