KARIDAD RAMIS-HARTMAN - US Army
So Much More Than Meets the Eye
As I picture a photographer, I do not imagine, nor do I ever think of all the critical components and body mechanics necessary to bring what appears to be the ease of beauty to a moment in time. A picture is worth 1000 words is only the beginning to what is being said in this picture. Where everything stops, and total complete focus is set on only the photographer that evokes the story with one click to life. His dedication, passion and commitment to the shot is what gives perfection to a not-so-perfect and very complex moment. Lights, camera, weather, sweat, thirst, angles, imagination, and on the spot creativity are just a few actions that happen in the world of photography. My mind and eyes have been forever changed by the sight beyond sight.
