Why A Photo Essay?
"People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I can't do that as Bruce Wayne.
As a man, I'm flesh and blood, I can be ignored, I can be destroyed; but as a symbol... as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting."
Bruce Wayne
Editors Notes:
I am drawn to the concept of a hero. I find it interesting that 2 of most popular heroes Superman, and Spiderman are in the journalism business. So, I decided to follow their line of work, and hired mysef as the Lead Creative Artist for A Photo Essay.
I hope to become more, grow more and just maybe become a symbol of hope for others. It would be awesme to know that my art impacted a people to ebrace the path of growth and learning and become more for themselves and others. A hero if you will to their families, friends and community.
Photography and video is like a passport granting me access into the world untold stories. My job is to capture the story and share it with the world. I know the world is a far stretch, and am I ok with that. I would much prefer having a handful of loyal supporters that find meaning in what I created.
Expect to find: Short videos and photos about the photographic journey, musings showing off my inner Bruce Wayne.
Thank you for reading!
