Clar i ty is about what emot ions or feel ings the image is t rying to evoke, not the fact s behind the image. Photographic clar i ty is about passion of purpose. I t 's about a single-minded desi re to protect a memory. I t 's about story tel l ing wi th a camera that 's so power ful , no words are necessary.

Never apologize for what you feel, it's like saying sorry for being real." – Anonymous

I am spending what time I have left on this planet in hot pursuit of amazing moments, both those I can photograph and those that I can simply be a part of, no matter how small. I want to take big bites out of life. I'm not wasting any of my time and hope you aren't either. —Scott Bourne
