AWARE (Japanese)

The Meaning: Aware is a word, quite well-known, for the bittersweetness of a brief and fading moment of transcendent beauty. It's that "last burst of summer" feel, or the transience of early spring.

REALITY

In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.– Alfred Stieglitz

LIGHT

Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography. – George Eastman

MOMENT

I see something special and show it to the camera. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs. – Sam Abell

BEAUTY

Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph. – Matt Hardy
