My Sister, the Photographer

My sister is an incredibly talented photographer and I have been loving her images and creativity for years and years. As soon as I have a home of my own, I am blowing up her photos and covering my walls with them. 

American short story writer and journalist Ambrose Bierce defined photography as the following: 
"Photograph: a picture painted by the sun without instruction in art."
Lovely.

How is photography a form of media? It centers around communication. It communicates the thoughts and emotions of the photographer. It reveals the thoughts and emotions of the subject.

Brigitte Bardot, a French fashion model, said:
"A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you."
Photographs capture eternity. They tell you forever the communications of a single moment. I wish I had been more blessed with this amazing talent!

Here are a few of my favorites from my sister's creations:
