If I Were Blind Tomorrow

Imagery and events surround a person each second of the day. Things that people physically look at creates an emotional experience that can cause sadness, joy, excitement, enthusiasm, anger, so and so forth...If I knew that I was to go blind tomorrow, there would be many many things I would miss seeing. Faces of families, friends and loved ones would only be a part of what I would miss the most. Waking up to see the sun rising, clear sunny and cloudless skies, dark nights with the moon shining brightly, flower petals breaking into pieces as the fall approaches, leaves changing colors, roaring ocean waters, beautiful and luring pieces of ribs laid out on a dish, so and so forth...are only some of the things that I would miss seeing. Without my sight, a part of who I am would be lost into a world of darkness.

Photographing pertaining to this theme was challenging because there were so many things I wanted to capture. But I believe capturing the essence of what brings joy before my eyes was the most important quality to seize in the photo. Working with a conceptual idea from the start of my photographing session was challenging, yet exciting because there was freedom in what I wanted to shoot but with a specific intent and agenda behind the photos.
