I find that, as humans, we value photographs because of the way they make us feel. The stronger the feeling, the more we value the photograph.
Jesh de Rox
When I read this quote by Jesh, (yes, that is his name and correct spelling), I began to think about the photographs in my life and the photographs that I had created. I found that the ones that stood out are the ones that brought back feelings and memories to my life. Whether it was remembering a great event or wonderful friends or clients or “friendclients” (new word, made it up, haha!), they all touched a place in my heart. Photos that made me feel good about myself and how I looked also made the list. Photos that made me laugh or reminisce also came instantly to mind. Even the ones that were memories of awful news stories, they made me feel. And I realized Jexh had summed it up in two sentences.
When I photograph, I love to create photographs that will make you feel something. I have included a few of my favorites below.
