Our photographs tell us what is important to us

Photography is a fantastic story-telling medium. Whether you’re
telling a story with one image, a sequence, a series, I’ve been
photographing my family history for the past 40 years and
Masonic events for the past 30 years. I think it’s very important
that we document our history. And photography is one way in
which I choose to do so.

Photographs are part of our legacy

Photographs matter because they freeze moments of our lives which pass unremarkable and which seem to have little importance to us at the time. The significance, however, may be for others who search for the person we once were or the places we once knew.

Photographs allow us to share and to communicate.

Your photos can make people happy. They can make people sad. Through simply showing your images you can evoke an emotion in someone else. With the internet you can affect so many people at once. Photography can really connect people in that way.

Photography has the power to move us

Each of us will have a different reason to do so but, essentially, we want to create something.

Photographs can grab our attention and speak directly to our emotions.

Photography is a well-established medium for preserving family and cultural histories as well.

Photography is a well-established medium for preserving family and cultural histories as well. The people or events that are photographed perhaps will never be the same again, so taking advantage of opportunities to take photos allows for the remembrance of things as they once were.

NOTICE THE DETAILS

Photography changes the way you see things. It’s actually quite an incredible transformation to experience. Suddenly you notice light, shapes, colours, textures, people, bulidings, trees, flowers…

A GREAT CHALLENGE

Now, there is actually a lot more to photography than just pointing the camera at something and pressing the button. That’s where you start. But learning to become a great photographer is a serious challenge. You’ll always be learning something new, have new directions to explore, and new challenges to face.
