Photography is communication.
Nostalgic black and white.
Exhilarating color.
Soft hues soothe and calm.
Radiant hues heighten senses.
Blurred backgrounds. A past forgotten.
Fuzzy foregrounds. A past remembered.
Shadows provide emptiness.
Light radiates life.
Wide lens. Reveals destruction of a rain forest.
Zoom lens. An elderly mother’s wrinkled hands.
Life on Mars? Telescopic image.
Life in utero? Ultrasound image.
Life in cell? Microscopic image.
Another galaxy? Satellite image.
Perspective enhances perception.
Emotion enhances communication.
The lens is linked to the heart.
