A Moment in Time

Most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment; photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure. ~Tony Benn

All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this - as in other ways - they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it. ~John Berger

Black & White

By happy accident, I happened to find a setting on my camera that allows me to shoot in black and white. Maybe it's something trivial that I should have known how to do, but I didn't...it's a recent discovery, and I'm very happy with it. I'm really enjoying shooting in black and white. It gives the pictures a slightly different feel, and there's a beauty in the black and white that is like no other.
