Photography is the combination of the photographer’s eye, and light falling on a light sensitive surface or digital equivalent of film. And from this alchemy of human skill, experience, perceptions, impressions and interactions with technology evolves visual storytelling – often evoking a feeling, which in turn stirs our senses and conjures up memories. What are your feelings and what comes to mind when you see this image?
Oddly enough for me, this image reminds me of when I was a young girl, and what it felt like to fall asleep on my bed under a pile of warm clothes fresh from the dryer with the sun streaming in through my bedroom window.
“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”
― Ansel Adams“You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”
― Ansel Adams“The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.”
― Dorothea Lange“A good snapshot keeps a moment from running away.”
― Eudora Welty“For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.”
― Henri Cartier-Bresson“Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.”
― Marc Riboud
