Sabrina Blanton
Photographer
I value photos and photography for a few reasons.
1. I'm an artist and I like to make beautiful things.
But I'm also someone who has lost special people. When these people are gone, photos, videos, and even voicemail are all we have left.
2. To lose somebody and realize that you didn't take enough pictures is truly the worst feeling. No this doesn't mean that every photo I take is taken with death in mind.
3. I also am getting older and my memories are fading...I got into photography heavy when I realized this because my trauma filled brain only tends to hold on to the negative memories.
Pictures are my way of remembering the good, the happy, and the great; the memories, the people, the emotions, and the stories. Now I look to help others capture those moments that they want to hold on to forever or pass down through generations.
