Every photograph is altered, to one degree or another.

A photograph is an invitation to look - and to look at looking.

Through the experience of art, the powers of perception and transformation can be awakened, in both those who create it and those who re-perceive it.

Color is a powerful physical, biological, and psychological force.

Seeing creates growth.

Very often there is too little information in photographs to deduce how they were made and even what they represent. We rely on context and supplemental information to confirm our observations, not simply the documents themselves.

To be sure, not all moments are equally fleeting. Some moments last longer than others. And certain events do reoccur more than once and even recur repeatedly. Sometimes you do get more than one chance. Sometimes you don't. It helps to know how long a window of opportunity you have and if you'll get another chance.
