SEEKING SERENDIPITY
The third in my series of video-collages of my photography. They are a selection of my personal favourites taken during the past year. Serendipity: - The faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for - The occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way For a street and documentary photographer like myself, Serendipity is to find the proverbial "Decisive Moment", where time, light, circumstance and framing collide and coincide.
