This blog site was created to achive the personal emails that I have been sending to my family and friends that I have met in my travels as a professional photographer. The list now includes a thousand people around the world. Creating these emails has taught me to be a better photographer. And, more importantly, each has taught me something about myself. I’ve learned that the way I see the world is a reflection of how I see myself. Every image is, in a way, a kind of self-portrait.My job has been to find different ways to look at things. Which has taught me that there are a lot of ways to look at things. This perspective has helped me see that life is extremely malleable and open to an infinite number of interpretations. When I remember that I am making up my picture of the world from my own lines of thought, life itself becomes a creative act.
When I remember that life is full of wonder, wonderful pictures are everywhere.
Ultimately, I consider a photograph to be a success when I’m no longer in the picture. It’s my wish for the viewer to find themselves there.
Thanks for coming to play.
Enjoy your Self.
Jerry
