Capturing the Moment

Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.
Henri Cartier Bresson

Photography has the power like no other medium to capture that ever-vanishing moment.  Once captured the photo allows us, both photographer and viewer, the possibility of reentering that moment filtered by our experience.  Nowadays cameras are something virtually anyone can have and use.  Taking pictures is not hard but taking good photos that capture the vanishing moment Bresson speaks of takes a lifetime to master.

Museum of Glass
By Peter Serko

Your House Book

I recently did a project at a friend’s house.  She has a magnificent historic house with fabulous architectural detail, beautifully restored over a period of years.  The interior decor is also incredible making for many excellent photo opportunities.  I shot with natural lighting occasionally supplemented by interior lights.  It was a amazing experience and turned out to be a very satisfying project.  I turned my work into a beautiful book that I gave her as a gift.

You can preview the book at the link above.  I’m sure you have never considered such a project for your own home primarily because you see it everyday and take it’s unique qualities and character for granted.  My friend felt the same way about her house.  Let me show you your house and gardens in a new light. 

If not for you, consider giving a house book project to someone as a gift.  Contact me for more info.
