About
When I was told to write an “about page’ on my website I was stumped. People suggested...have a friend write it about who you are as a photographer...other’s told me to write what the name “DIME Image” means…, Where am I going with this or Why am I doing it...what do I want my photos to portray?..
I finally decided to throw all that out the window and just let my thoughts flow..
Every aspect of photography makes me come alive with creativity and a true sense of happiness. When I look at photos I don’t think of words to express the image in front of me….I just FEEL it….I get particular feelings about each photo I look at. Whether it is a sense of happiness, mystery or even a sense of being emotionless, the image is still full of emotion. That helps me better understand what the individual in the photo is trying to represent. I love that because there is always someone out there that can relate to one or more of the wide variety of feelings that can come with a photograph, including myself. Fashion, fantasy, reality or creative; it all inspires me and reassures my feelings that I can tell stories about anything I put my mind too. I just want to find a way to express my feelings to others through my photos.
I don’t have one defined “style” of photography. I am more then open to trying new ideas and effects because, you never really know what you will enjoy until you try everything, right?
As I’m reading what I am writing; I guess I did find my “intention” as to why I am doing this. It is to share my thoughts and emotions with the world...no matter how kooky or emotional they may be. You may notice by looking through my work what type of mood I was in while shooting these sessions. I never meant for them to be a certain way, they just are, and I go with it. I have never been one to fit the norm; I have always been someone to re-invent myself if boredom strikes; always changing up the house, the art on the walls or my personal appearance. Someone once told me “what others think of you is none of your business” and I have carried that quote with me always.
Maybe someday down the line I’ll find my true Niche and defined sense of photography but for now, it is what it is….and I love it that way.
