Photo Ethics:

I take photos to embrace moments that I feel need to be documented or remembered. I do feel influenced by the behavior of those I am photographing, as they are often friends or family. Altering reality is something that I do occasionally in photos, just to bring out a subject or blur the background a little extra. There are many instances where I changed my angle or focus to really get the full picture.
