I have had a casual interest in photography for as long as I can remember.  I always thought is was really interesting that a photograph could elicit certain emotions from people depending on what the subject matter was.  I can remember being younger and looking through old photos. I would be instantly brought back to that point in time and be able to remember exactly what was going on.  I just thought it was amazing.  I wanted to be able to create those memories for others by taking impactful photographs.  Easier said than done!!!  I didnt really put much effort into learning how to take photos until the past few years.  Now that I have a better understanding of how to create better photos, my interest level has gone up exponentially.  I still have tons to learn, but I can see improvement and that is enough to keep me going. ![WhoKnew_MJ1](https://info.hillpartners.com/hs-fs/hub/213399/file-1412518303.jpg?width=700&name=file-1412518303.jpg "WhoKnew_MJ1") I like to shoot all different kinds of subject matter from portraits to landscapes to candids.  If I can capture a great moment, I really don’t mind what it is.  I am a visual person so I can appreciate the nuances of a photograph.  I would much rather look through a book of photographs than read a regular book.  I can still experience a story through each photograph.   For me, the cliche is true - a photo is worth a thousand words.  ![WhoKnew_MJ3](https://info.hillpartners.com/hs-fs/hub/213399/file-1415369707.jpg?width=700&name=file-1415369707.jpg "WhoKnew_MJ3") I don’t have a single favorite photo but there are a few of which I am proud.  Interestingly enough, some of those photos were the result of luck more than anything else.  I have a cool photo inside the Colosseum in Rome and another underneath a pier in Adelaide Australia.  I have several favorites of my wife and kids as well. I live in Southeast Mass, close to Providence and Newport, which provide endless opportunities for some great local shots.  ![WhoKnew_MJ2](https://info.hillpartners.com/hs-fs/hub/213399/file-1412518258.jpg?width=700&name=file-1412518258.jpg "WhoKnew_MJ2") I’m always looking for new locations and subjects to shoot.. that is what is so great about photography - there is always a new opportunity to capture and preserve that perfect moment in time!
