Nothing but words...

Today, I share no images, just words. Reflections of ones choices, ones actions, ripple through time aided by mementos we cherish. We often strive to record what we experience as some testament to legacy. Often I find there are many things that mementos fail to replicate. In some ways maybe even damage with their presence. The beauty of memory is that it is an ever evolving, streamlining, idealized representation of the past. Images hold the cold reality of truth, never changing, always constant. This is why we must be mindful of what we choose to record. To often people produce images for professional and personal uses that channel no energy, show no point of view, create no story to become lore. Instead they simply document a moment in time. Photography was not developed our of some desire to simply copy what was there, but a way to use the ability to create something instantly to be able to communicate information, ideas, and concepts. I dare you to ask yourself why sometime. Before you push that shutter, ask yourself what you want to relate to people, and ask yourself how to do it. Demand excellence from yourself and reap the benefits of concise thought. Goodnight and good luck.
