"Whether he is an artist or not, the photographer is a joyous sensualist, for the simple reason that the eye traffics in feelings, not in thoughts."
~ Walker Evans

If someone were to ask what it was about this tree that drew me in - I would tell them I was captivated by light, textures and lines, but that it was not until I moved in for a closer look, that the emotions flooded me. For this simple reason I take photos. Sometimes the emotions are difficult, bringing a memory to the surface, or uprooting something I have buried. But for the most part, these emotions spark curiosity, wonder and joy.
