Hunting for People

"Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man."
- Edward Steichen
I consider Photojournalism one of the noblest forms of Photography because it´s such a simple click. I have done and admire other forms of photography: stock, events, studio, weddings, etc but they seem somewhat staged and stale.
When I look back at the photos I´ve taken of people, the places I´ve been, and the insight photography has given me in the lives of others I am really grateful.
Seeing carpenters create beautiful furniture from wood, farmers tending their crops, workers in factories, cowboys on horses, this past year in Brazil was especially helpful in developing my passion.
And it is still under development, here in Berlin . . .
