I'm not really sure what you can say after watching this. Expressions of envy, respect, gratitude maybe.

I think I'll side with gratitude. Moments in time captured, souls who would have been lost in time unseen, save for the work of one man.


This makes me proud to be a photographer and want to be a better one.
