What are you looking at?

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Whom be the one to hold the beauty? In photography beauty is not only viewed as an image of the formentioned word, but of context. A beautiful picture can be that of a tragic moment. I recently discussed with someone some of the types of pictures I've taken. Everyone has reasons for wanting particular pictures. Capturing the dead was something most photographers did when a celebrity died, but now the not so famous are remembering that moment. In New Orleans, the Jazz Funeral has always been captured. Pictures do speak 1000 words if not more. You ever tried it? Take out a family photo and write down the number of words that describes this picture. From the day and time to the people inside of the photo and the memories it bestowes, I'm sure you'll get 1000 words if not more. 1) The artist as a model, way back when 2) Preparing a shot 3) A silk scarf 4) one star 5) 2 stars 6) 3 stars 7) Ice pick 8) ice 9) b/w 10) w/b
