Freedom

Freedom. It means so many things. Considering how we manipulate that term politically in the United States, you would think it would be hard to define, but in all reality its a simple term, one that can be applied in all settings. But not without risk. We are free to be ourselves, we are free to do what we want, but none of that comes without consequence. I think that is the most underestimated aspect of the concept. What is it that we truly want from the idea of freedom, no consequences, no backlash, no reality? All philosphosizing aside, the freedom of photography is very clear. We are able to freely catch what that moment holds, without constraint. What do you wish to say? What does the picture hold?
