Capturing Stories

THE PRINCIPLE:

When it comes to taking everyday photos, don't worry so much about taking photos, instead try to capture stories.  

The most interesting photos we long to see from times past aren't the images that give everything away, like a portrait where everyone smiles and wears matching outfits; instead, we want photos that help us visit moments of our life story.
