The Challenge creates the Magic

The Challenge that keeps me coming to work.  The magic is the reward.  K for Karsh tells it like it is.


“Within every man and woman a secret is hidden, and as a photographer it is my task to reveal it if I can. The revelation, if it comes at all, will come in a small fraction of a second with an unconscious gesture, a gleam of the eye, a brief lifting of the mask that all humans wear to conceal their innermost selves from the world.”
–Yousuf Karsh

Future Nostalgia

I hate network TV but I love Pan Am!  Now the football season has ruined the consistency, what will happen next to the Pan AM stewardess as Spy.   Did these shots of the gorgeous Elise from MMA.  The airline hats were purchased on EBay years ago and just rediscovered them.

H.O.O.F

H.O.O.F. (Horse Owners of Fairmont) is a program designed to help take care of horses that are being mistreated due to lack of funding. Amanda has taken great interest of helping this project be recognized to the public and help create funds through her exhibition. She has taken photos, which are displayed on her website as well as at Seed of Diamond Gallery, a sustainable community gallery.   Overall her goal is to make an impact in these horses’ lives as well as the owners.  Please contact amanda@amandastevensonphoto.com to participate in the planning to transform this community.
