Philosophy
The late great Henri Cartier-Bresson once said "Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again."
Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that we have inherited, and the wealth and confusion we have created. It is a major force in explaining us to one another.
All photographs are there to remind us to what we forget. In this – as in other ways – they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each of us forgets different things, a photo may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.
Capturing the defining moments of your most important day is the goal of our photography. Moments and expressions that last for a mere split second never to be duplicated again will be frozen in time, forever in your memory.
In the words of Ansel Adams, "When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence."
Of course if I could tell your story in words, I wouldn’t need to lug around a camera.
