Every once in a while I get one of those images that just fall into my lap. It is like I am shooting, thinking, creating, and then all of a sudden I see something that realize that it has a lot more depth than just surface level. This is one of those images. I had the pleasure of spending the day with Mr. Cosman and of all the images that I shot of him that day, this one speaks to his life. He is always going against the grain, climbing hills, and pressing...

I find myself drawn more and more to images that are deep with story. What do I mean by that? Take this image for example. The more you look at this image, the more you end up seeing. I shot this on a missions trip to an orphanage in Guatemala, but it doesn’t really matter where it was shot because the story that is embedded into it has a life of its own. And in fact, if you look, you have three different stories taking place in one image. This is what makes it so rich. You will notice the boys playing Uno on the bench, who are obviously enjoying the challenge and having a good time, with one of them possibly cheating. There is the mother figure sitting on the bench and resting and enjoying the evening… maybe even dreaming about a life for the kids. And then finally you have the little boys crouched in the corner, playing with leaves or bugs, curious about the world and life in it. Put these three stories into an environment that makes you wonder where they are, and how they live, and you have an image that tells a story for years to come....

I think all too often we find ourselves looking at life and not really taking into account what will be important later on. For example, one of my best memories as a kid is me and my sister sitting on the stairs at my grandparents house watching TV. Now although that may not seem that significant, for me it was amazing. Why? Because the stairs were huge to me back then! And because of where the television was located, in the corner of the room, we could sit in our “little cave” and watch TV and be completely in our own little world. This photograph will probably have the same meaning to these kids when they get older. In talking to Mom, she said that they always watch TV like that. No matter how much they have tried to get them to stop, they still keep going back to sitting on the arm of the chair. She even said with a smile, ” Yeah, we are going to have this chair that has one arm completely destroyed.” I hope that when these girls look at this photograph 30 years from now they will feel the same thing I feel when I think about watching TV on my grandparents stairs....
