Why am I a documentary photographer?

Documentary photography is the reason why I take photographs. I love reality photography. Alot of photography today is production or post-production work. Capturing history is why I became a photographer. I have been particularly influenced by the photographs that came out of the Sept. 11 tragedy. Since then I have seen photos both pre-2001 and after that have had a signficant impact on my photographic eye.
