 “Call it vision, imagination, or seeing; it all comes down to the same thing: the ability to envision a final result in your mind's eye, and then to make it so with your tools at hand.”

Through photographs we preserve history, capture the essence of a place, travel to distant shores, push our way through steamy rainforests, in short, photography connects people.
