Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures. – Don McCullin

Tremble Court
Passing Through Tremble Court Tremble Court is a small store in the Old Town Square. Three walkways meet at the store’s front door, one being an alley. As I was walking through Tremble Court towards the square I noticed this woman walking towards the court from the alley. I walked past the three way intersection while composing an image in my head. I then stopped and turned to wait for her to pass through. She is coming from the direction of a homeless shelter and with her heavy bags I assumed her to be homeless. I took two images as she walked by. She was carrying what I assume to be all she had. Her body is stooped over due to a bad back, heavy bags or both. When I see homeless people who only own what’s on their back it causes me to realize all that I have.

A Walk in Old Town

The Only Door In silence wisdom speaks loudest, you cannot expect to learn the truth, if you only listen to what you think you know.

So Much for the Quiet
St. Josephs Catholic Church As some of you know I look for places to find a bit of quiet, a physical place with little external noise. I can find these in some churches. This past week in search for quiet I went to a local catholic church. The first thing i notice as I walked in was yhe quiet. I could hear every breath I took. This was what I was looking for. After about 10 minutes of this quiet in walked these five ladies who then proceeded to pray the rosary. So much for the quiet.

Photography Has Changed Me
Old Town Alley The dream to be a professional photographer faded many years ago. I find it interesting that when I eliminated the word professional I began to really be a photographer. Photography began to be a part of me, something I needed to partake of on a regular basis. It began to change something within me, opening my eyes and really see the world around me, whether that’s photographing a sunset or a walk through an alley in my neighborhood. I continuously look for “the more” and find it to be a wonderful process and journey. Yes, photography has changed me.

Changing the World
