Original Play helps me each time I reach for a camera to take a photograph.  The images are not about "capturing the moment."  Instead, this process is more about embracing the subject in a manner that reflects patience, trust and kindness.  For years I would hear other photographers talk about "getting" or "missing the shot."  Original play and photography, what I call image play, becomes a wonderful dance of belonging, wonder and awe.  Yes, the images can seem fleeting, appearing and then disappearing within seconds.  For me it is about moving beyond being an outsider or casual observer.  Image play is about an invitation to be a part of the moment, which expresses the magic and joy of the medium.
