I see myself as a memory keeper and storyteller, not an artist. My brother is a photographer (well, a lawyer who photographs weddings and landscapes on the side), and it's fun to see the difference in our photos when we both shoot the same family event. His pictures are very artistic: close ups of faces with beautifully sparkling eyes, zoomed in detail photos with blurred backgrounds, and posed full body shots. My photos are usually less zoomed, with a lot more of the background included to place the memory. I'm more likely to take a photo sequence that tells a story or captures a relationship between people.
