David Carrothers | McCarlCreekPhotographics.com | @mccarlcreek_photographics
A photograph can transcend space and time to become almost super-real, taking the viewer to the instant the shutter was released. Ultimately, it is about the image, not the equipment, software, or technique, if the image doesn't work, no process can change that.
