In the playground of the imagination

A photograph is a truly, truly magical thing. It is nothing less than that. Whatever the subject, circumstance or impression of the photo image may be, it is the act of capture that indelibly stamps it with an ink of the divine. A photograph exist in the imagination, and it exist in reality. It is both fact and fiction. This enigmatic quality of a photo image is what makes me keep taking pictures. And I cannot stop. I just shoot and shoot and shoot. For a photographer, what else is there to do? Really. In each shot that I take, I want to find out if both the reality and the fantasy exist at the same time, embedded in its photographic embrace. This is the test that I submit all of my photographs to. It is my own acid test. I want to know if an image truly is divine, or, simply, banal. There is beauty out there that is true. And it can be in the photographs. We just have to experience it.
