Often people forget that cameras do not make photographs. Photographs are simply a collection of light and color captured in a single moment in time, and the camera is only a tool for capturing. The photographer is the medium, and just as a person without rhythm will most likely never learn to dance, a photographer without intuition, depth and passion will never manipulate a camera to capture what everyone else might have otherwise missed.

My job as a photographer is to continuously improve my technique and watch for those moments in time when I can capture my client's true ability. Whether it be of a bride whose dress required last minute alterations only to compliment her body perfectly as she exchanges her vows, or of a fighter who wasn't quite sure he could win as he made his way to the ring yet skillfully outmaneuvered his opponent, my passion is renewed each time someone looks a photograph and utters, "Wow. That's me?" People rarely see perfection in themselves, and that is why I am here. In a society obsessed with imperfection, my job, my gift, is to prove that everything is a matter of perspective. - Mindy Bush
