Photographia

I've loved photography ever since I received my first camera when I was roughly six or seven years old. There's something about being able to stop time, and print it on a piece of paper to keep that absolutely awes and entrances me. People love photographs; they keep them tucked in drawers, pressed in books, framed on desks. In a 4x6 window, time stands still. Though we move endlessly on through time and space, the image remains the same. Through it, one can travel to a different era, place, or culture. From it, one can learn more than books could ever teach. Though silent, the photograph speaks volumes, in a language words could never truly capture the essence of.

I've recently entered a photography contest. I don't know what my odds are of winning, but if you look at my entry, and you like it, please consider voting for me :)

Here's the website for my photo, entitled "Gone": http://www.youtube.com/imagination?x=us_hausswf_12404
I took it in the office of an abandoned factory. No one knows why the company up and left, but the remains proved interesting enough for me to go exploring with my camera.

Enjoy the music, and thanks for voting :)
