Developing Connections
A picture is more then a simple snapshot but rather art captured by a photographers eye. Yes, a photographer chooses when and where to snap a picture but has no control of the underlying meaning a picture contains. The famous saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words” is true and relevant for every picture. A picture is merely ones perspective of the past and can be worth a thousand years.

I attempt to become part of the picture, and understand the circumstance of the single snap shot of life. Once I have knowledge of the situation, I begin to process the connections that are contained within the picture. The picture begins to speak precise words to my mind, and I begin to relate to the picture on the proper level. Once I understand the direct relation the picture applies to my life, I begin to understand the picture for the subject’s application.
