Favorite Quote: "From the confusion of objects and impressions our eyes bring us each day, we select for special notice only a few which have meaning for us - those which relate to our lives in some special way, those that delight us. The camera can help us see through directing us to images which might otherwise be passed by. It pushes us to explore our vision. It records what I have found that you may not have noticed - and through showing you what delights me or has meaning for me, I reveal to you much of what my inner world is. I tell you about myself by letting you see through my own eyes for just a moment." - Douglas Tatton
