I’ve been making photographs for most of my life. It’s second nature to me. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t love it. But it’s hard to put into words what that love of photography is all about. I am going to try.
1. I love that photography is capable of moving people. I sat and watched hundreds of people cry during one of Stacy Pearsall’s amazing slide shows. (Get her book Shooter: Combat from Behind the Camera if you want to see what I mean.)
