Feelings.

I’ve spent almost 20 years using my camera to preserve unique and special moments and moments that hopefully make you feel something. Time is always moving and so are the opportunities we have in our lives. My approach is to be able to preserve those pivotal moments, even if it’s just for a fraction of a second, and preserve them in a way they can be enjoyed and felt forever. -AA
