"Marilyn, why are you into photography?"
Shyrell
Hi Shyrell,
Because it's the closest thing to something magical I've found.
I still get the same feelings of "something wonderful is happening" every time I see an image rise from the chemicals in a dark room. It's like the Phoenix rising from the ashes.
Photography allows me to capture a moment in time that can never be physically revisited, but never be changed. In a quiet moment - when I can focus on an image - I can go home again.
Marilyn

Okay... I have no idea how the middle paragraph in my mail became highlighted with this symbol: >
I did not do this. It looks like I was trying to make some kind of point. Not! :-)

One mightfeel I was born into photography. Perhaps.
