The most intriguing thing about photography for me is that in it's most fundamental state, it is capturing a single, still moment in time, in an ever-changing, chaotic world. It's actually quite calming and peaceful for me. And sometimes that single moment is incredibly beautiful, inside of a completely normal scene. There's something intensely rewarding about this for me - making an ordinary scene extraordinary. The right angle, with the right lighting, accompanied by a little splash of color in the right places, at the exact right moment. And suddenly, instead of just a picture, there's a photograph. 

​"To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them."
-Elliott Erwitt
