Most of our impressions about the world and our memories of it are based on sight. Visual perception has been compared to the operation of a photographic camera. Like the lens of a camera, the lens of the eye focuses an inverted image onto the retina and signals travel through the optic nerve to the brain. We are constantly fascinated by how the brain works and turns the signals into the images we see. For us the digital camera with our favorite macro and zoom lenses are tools for expanding visual perception of our surrounding natural world. The camera gives us a unique way to stop a bird in flight against laws of physics, magnify small subjects, and the near closer.
Our goal is photographing for pleasure to reveal things that are either bypassed or not fully seen. Photographing is also the most honest way to show nature’s amazing creations.
