ALEX NYERGES | Jewish Cemetery, Marrakech, #5361, 3-5-23

The beauty of photography, no matter the format or technique, is that it allows the photographer to capture a minute slice of time and space, Henri's Cartier Bresson's "decisive moment". It is a time and place that can never be replicated.  Photography is the acting of 'seeing', not looking.  As a photographer it is my goal to seize that moment when the light, shadows and the subject are just right, before, in a fleeting second, it disappears.  Moreover, my quest is to capture a moment of beauty, transferring from the actual world to one of light and pixels and, finally, to a work of art on paper for all to enjoy.
