One should experience a photograph rather than merely look at it.

A successful image is one that extends beyond a basic record of events. It reaches into us and pulls some part of us to the surface, urging us to explore, think, learn, understand. And at its very best, an image changes us in some important way.

It is deeply rewarding to visually document a fragment of our shared human narrative.
