Some of you have looked through my gallery and might have noticed I leave the edges of a lot of photos uncropped, some images not "zoomed in enough," or others with things "in the way". I have had a few people e-mail me asking why I don't 'crop this' or 'zoom in with that' and that how I take my photos it is 'a turn off' to them, but I do this on purpose, and not because i'm lazy.

I like to pull back as far as I can and show what is going on around the photo. It lets you know it's real. By showing what is going on around a photo, I feel someone viewing the photo can see why I have decided to capture that moment on film.

Take this for example, when you see a person smile you want to see what has caused them to do so. That is what I want to show; not so much the center focus, but WHY a perticular moment is important.

I'll shut up now.
