Computer photography won't be photography as we know it. I think photography will always be chemical.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
I sometimes find the surface interesting. To say that the mark of a good portrait is whether you get them or get the soul - I don't think this is possible all of the time.
Annie Leibovitz

My hope is that we continue to nurture the places that we love, but that we also look outside our immediate worlds.
