The Truth Behind the Image

              

 

 In every picture I shoot, I see a story… Pleasure & happiness fulfill me, while wandering with my camera capturing the beauty of all day scenes that are usually overlooked and maybe even ignored… Uncovering the dust & rust from unseen beauty in everything surrounding us, even when one might perceive this “ beauty” as ugly and not of interest… And this where the story starts, reaching its climax when the light goes through the shutter, capturing

a PICTURE, manifesting that the measurement for beauty differs and stating facts in a picture through street photography.

 

“There are always two people in every picture: the photographer

and the viewer” by Ansel Adams…. For me it's storyteller and

a “VIEWER”….
