Sometimes I feel that photography can take me to places I have never been or never really can get to. It has the ability to awaken different senses that I might otherwise take for granted. One of those senses, or places I don’t get to visit very often is that of quiet, of solitude, of peacefulness.

I think that quiet is something I take for granted quite often, especially with two small children. When I am behind the lens of my camera, however, I can get there quickly and without great effort. This I am grateful for.
