Requiem for a Photographer

This week I learned of the passing of Brian Lanker, a legendary photographer.One of my inspirations while growing up.

Requiem for A Photographer

A photographer tells our story with his pictures of us.Thus we become part of his story.
A photographer captures a moment in time,and then shares that moment for all times.
A photographer shows his point of view and opens our point of view.
A photographer will have a portfolio of his photos that show not only his best work but also his story.
A photographer will always know when the moment is right for a photo,and when it is not.
A photographer can take pictures that portray and cause emotion,while holding his own in check.
A photographer can see the beauty and ugly in everything.
A photographer can see and tell the story without becoming the story.
But most of all he knows,he is the photographer.
