“It is in our nature to find beauty in the everyday of our lives. The drama of clouds, the path of our stars, the representation of the natural world, and the art in old creations. The eye can see and the camera can record, the hand can create what the mind envisions. Some travel the world looking for beauty in the exotic while missing the beauty in the ordinary around them. My eye finds the beauty in the ordinary around us, my mind pre-visualizes the image, the camera captures and the hand creates”. — A.Lombardo
