to have good stories
As a school-trained, newspaper-raised photojournalist, I believed that photos, ABOVE ALL, were the most significant way to capture a moment. Reporters and writers came along to give the photos context, but it was the photograph's 'decisive moment' that was critical.
Fast forward 30 years of telling stories for newspapers, the US Army, hospital patients, healthcare providers, and countless families, athletes and couples - and my perspective has dramatically changed.
Everyone has an amazing story that we can all learn from - their successes, their struggles and how their growth has impacted the world around them.

A photograph doesn't always capture the most important details of a moment
Regardless of how beautiful and well composed a photograph is,
it can only begin to reveal the details we store about a moment.
It's not the photograph, but the details about those moments
that are the best 1,000 words.
