Pictures that evoke epiphanies in me

In one of Kevin's posts he showed a picture and described how it moved him and created an epiphany. I have had many similar feelings, seeing something truly magnificent captured forever in the moment is truly amazing. I, once upon a time, was going to be a photog major. I have always been fascinated with photography and I wanted to be a professional photographer and I still do. For me a picture is truly worth thousands of words. I have been moved to poetry by a simple look out the window at the landscape surrounding me (I'll post my unfinished poem later). Much like Wordsworth when he was looking down on tinturn abbey. Landscapes are all well and good, and can be unsurpassed in their beauty but I am in Love with humanity and it is the human form that I love to see photographed. Far more often a portrait is what truly stirs my emotional ocean. I have found hundreds of them that truly moved me, the only problem is that they have been lost because my computer fried itself but I was able to scour the internet for a few that I remember especially well. As I rediscover a lot of these pictures I have realized that I do have a majority of portraits but Nature is the most prolific after it.








Each one of these photos can tell an interesting story. I especially like the first three because they are from the same event but each one could represent something different. A feeling or emotion that predominates when it is viewed.
