After doing this professionally for 13 years, I have realized that photos aren't only worth a thousand words, but collectively, tell a story. Pictures are stills of your life that allow you to remember things, forever, using an imperfect, yet perfect, mixture of light and shadows. As a photographer, it is my job to capture those special moments, as they occur, and tell the story not many have the opportunity to see - the one that is told through the viewfinder.
