Welcome to Luis Photographix

Frequently I get asked why I take pictures.  Frankly, a lot of people take pictures. There is nothing unusual about taking pictures. The more appropriate question to ask me is “Why are you so obsessive about taking pictures?”

.

Why I am so obsessive about taking pictures, People ask? Good question! I take pictures to make a Moment in time... and to leave one. Photography is important to me.  Photographs leave a Moment in time of how we see the world. This Moment is our mark.

.

This is what I think about with every click of the Camara shutter - making and leaving marks. It's remarkable that a photo I made may still be up on the wall 20, years later. For me, black-and-white photography has the ability to capture the imagination. It has an evocative power which allows a slight distance from the subject and to live that moment in time.

.

Thank you and enjoy the side!
