Happy Valentine’s Day 2011
I have always thought of photographs as love notes. They say something about the subject of the photographs, of course. They say something about the photogapher. And from the viewer’s perspective, when she is drawn in to pondering the subject, she is pulled into a triangle of emotions between subject, photographer, and viewer. Today is the perfect day to send these love notes. These are mine to my own child, to my family, and to you. Happy Valentine’s Day!
