“None of us remember for very long who won what Nobel Peace Prize, Academy Award or Grammy and those are the "best in their fields". Applause subsides, awards tarnish, and achievements are forgotten. The accolades and certificates usually get buried before their owners. What remains are the people who make a real difference in our lives and they are usually NOT the ones with the most money, credentials or awards. Like a great song, an inspired creation that is captured (in ANY format) at just that 'right' expressive moment will take on a life of its own and live on through generations! It has the ability to inspire and heal; actually change the world. Those are the moments I seek to capture and the only rewards that I strive to achieve with my work.”
