Capturing a split-second fragment of an event, that will never repeat itself in precisely the same way. I see myself as a "gatherer of time." This could be as brief, as a cloud traveling in front of the sun, and crowning a hill with a dark cap, against the sky, or the millennia it took for a splendid temple to fall into decay. For me being able to interrupt and hold on to a moment of time is Photography's magic.
