Photography
No matter how great your photography, if you don’t have emotion you missed it.

I take pictures all the time. But my sister, Bonnie Lupton shines when she picks up a camera.
Pictures provide a platform for our emotions and our individual and unique perceptions of an experience. There is no single story in an image, all of us project our own perceptions fueled by the memories of a particular feeling at the time the picture was taken.
1. Because it makes me feel something
“Moments are fleeting, time passes quickly before your eyes and landscapes are constantly changing. I think that what makes a photograph successful is subjective, but for me, the most important element is that it makes you feel something. What is it about a moment that moves you enough to capture it? A wave will never crash against the shore in the same way, my kids will only have one birthday celebration a year, and the light might never touch a person's face like that again, and the camera is there to document and preserve that moment so that it can live and move you forever. Beauty and art are everywhere.”
