Behr | Richardson Photography
Bill Behr and Dawn Richardson view photography not as a craft, but as art. What makes art and photography exciting is the constant movement of putting pieces together to try to construct something meaningful in a world in which we often struggle to find beauty and meaningfulness. Photography allows the amazing opportunity to capture a moment, an instant in time. Being behind the camera becomes voyeuristic, peering into someone’s life and capturing it, thus gaining insight into our lives…our life. Art is breathing…it is living…without it there wouldn’t be life.
