"To want to make pictures is fundamentally to want to share something that you've seen of value and that you suspect maybe people haven't paid enough attention to." M'god, can the desire to create art using photography be explained any better than that?
Thank you for sharing your work. My students are new to photography and will learn much from what you have shared.
