Recently made a new photo friend, Alan W George.  He is a software guy by day and shooter every other hour.  I can't wait to do a photo trade for a giant print for my wall.  check him it.
A little about Alan, " Up until around 2003, photography was to me what it is for most  people, a mechanism for recording life's "important" moments.   Memory  triggering devices that will later remind us of the relentless  inevitability of time.   I am not quite sure how but somewhere along the  way, photography has become a central part of my life.   Photography  for me is a way of exploring the world.     It's the process of  searching, selecting and examining something that would otherwise go  unnoticed.     Through this process, I feel more conscious, more aware,  more engaged, more alive.   Plus, as Mr. Winogrand put it so succinctly , I  just like to see what things look like as photographs."
