The idea is that when the technique is later encountered in a piece of music, musicians can more easily use that technique and return their focus to the interpretation and expression of the music. ​ The idea of an etude, a technical study, can easily be applied to photography.

Streets of India

I traveled to India with my husband in 2018 for the first time to explore the people and places of the sub-continent. I focused on street photography throughout the journey, making both posed and candid photos of the people I met. We shared a busy Indian street, but we also could share a moment in time, a smile, and an interaction - even without sharing a word. Life is much different here than our western life, sheltered inside buildings. India is a country with a vibrant street life and my goal was to capture the spirit of life on the streets in my photographs. Hardcover $52.99 ebook $7.99
