ABOUT ME

My photo
plfallin
Florida, United States
As a lifetime student of English literature, Photography for me is an artistic form of creative expression. It is poetry in living images, scripted through emotions, feelings, and thoughts of my surroundings. There is nothing more beautiful than nature photography and preserving memories of where I have been and the paths I have traveled. I have studied photography for several years and it has become a creative outlet for me. It is a true art form and can be used in many different formats. It illuminates life and communicates across all languages and cultures. It helps us to express the visual beauty of our surroundings and share the events of our lives. Every picture has a story to tell, a poem to express, and a place to discover.
