Anne Vinacke Photography

I was recently asked, what does photography mean to you? I am not eloquent by any means with words but here is a simple attempt to answer that question. Photography is a vehicle for me to capture moments in time that to me are beautiful and without flaw, moments and places that I wish to remember. Photography helps me to find a simple elegancy to life that isnt full of hate, greed, and lust. When I am wondering around on a sunny afternoon I often think about a different time and a foreign, simpler way of life, that is what I try to capture now by taking pictures. I have always believed that I was born in the wrong genre of time, some people say that is because in a past life I must of lived a simpler life. I dont believe in past lives so that cannot be true. I just long for an era of romance, a time where our lives where not ruled by time, money and technology, but family. Maybe it is because I grew up in Montana and that type of lifestyle will always be apart of me. Maybe it is because I see what this fast paced instance gratification, east coast lifestyle that society leads is doing to our youth, our country and our planet. I want people to look at my photographs and feel a calmness about them, maybe not the same feeling I get when I look at a flower or a building but a special unique feeling all of their own that provokes thoughts of a better way of life.Please, feel free to see some of my work, via the link below. Please keep in mind, I have just started to acknowledge this passion of mine, and this is all virgin work, I have not done any edit work to these pictures. Any and all comments would be appreciated.
