My Photography =
I love black & white, which I guess makes me more old-school, but there is just something about a black & white portrait. There is so much one can see inside a photograph with no color: an essence, an ambiance, a raw emotion, passion. There are things that just cannot be "heard" when there is too much color.
However, I do love color photographs as well, especially of nature, where a vibracy of reds, yellows & greens cause a gasp of amazement.
I love photographing people & animals & I especially love shooting bands on stage where the sweat goes flying & in one second you can see a feeling vibrating on a guitar string. It is an intensity, it is a passion, it is music.
This is what I want to capture on film.
