Seeing Seeing: Capturing a Moment
Special photographs capture a moment in time of somewhere, someone, something in a way that leaves us spellbound. They reveal, tell, relate, inform, depict what we didn’t really know existed, and leave us wanting for more.
With the proliferation of cameras of all sorts, it’s no wonder everyone sees themselves as a photographer of one form or another. All of these tools beget an enormous number of images created by almost anyone who can get their finger on the “shutter.” But how many of those images are so remarkable we are left breathless as we are introduced to a new insight – a new way of seeing something, perhaps even something familiar?
