Summary

Life is full of movement and energy. Pictures should be too.

This series is a collection of images in black and white, which I feel destroys the noise of color when it come to movement. Color can take away from the simplicity of trails. Motion is the focus of this essay. Sometimes as photographers we strive for perfection in stillness and clarity, just like our personal lives; but then there is the chaos; that which we can not control. I want to embrace that in these images.
