The Photodiarist tag:typepad.com,2003:weblog-81246281953679115 2013-05-12T11:06:53-04:00 I am a diarist of ordinary moments that move me. I gravitate towards black and white photography but still celebrate color. I love the candid capture but respect the power of the choreographed moment. I study the rules of phos+graphis but am compelled periodically to ignore them.
