The allure of a photographic image is the pure revelation of a vivid and distinctive, extraordinary vision of the world beyond ordinary existence. Images are the foundation of imagination, the realization of learning - a visual of possibilities that include hope and joy. An image that ignites our imagination awakens our senses and transports us to a place that allows us to feel what we can see. We imagine what it's like to smell a warm ocean breeze and feel the damp sand between our toes. We envision a brilliant sunset from a beach half way around the world. We can experience the strange aroma that drifts through the noise of a busy street in a city far away. It has been said that one picture is worth a thousand words. That may not be enough to describe the value of how photography can touch our senses and inspire the imagination we need to enhance our journey.
