"A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a
fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may
not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in
the human soul."
--Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When he takes pictures, sometimes I think it's easy for Brad to find and capture beauty. New Mexican sunsets. A pretty girl. A monumental building. Then there are times when I am so surprised at how he has stolen something ugly and made it shine. A weathered homeless man. A filthy shack. An awkward child. Anyone can take a picture or learn the rules of taking a good picture in a class. Maybe that person will even take a few pictures that are really good. Though, the pictures that people cherish and remember forever are the ones taken by photographers with the unique vision needed to capture and showcase beauty in its most appropriate light. Brad takes those pictures.
