The idea was to choose a favorite image, but I soon found that task to be nearly impossible. For one, my work is constantly changing, growing and evolving; and I am still quite far from reaching my pinnacle. Secondly, the very nature of my work is not meant for me. My main subject is people. Sometimes families, sometimes couples, sometimes individuals, but always people. It is not my goal to simply take a pretty picture. Anyone can do that. It is my goal to capture a single moment of energy, emotion and sentiment—and in that moment to also capture who this person is or might one day be. The great American photographer Imogen Cunningham once said, “Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow.” I absolutely believe her sentiment to be true. Tomorrow I will take a photograph that I deem better or more beautiful than any I have taken before. Then I will do it again the next day and the day after that. I will never be done taking my “favorite photograph.”
