Janice Montalvo:
"Photography has been in existence since 1826; personally, I have been taking photographs since I was a preteen. I have used photography to sharpen my memory and leaned on it for solace and meditation. Each photo I take, no matter what I am focusing on, helps me to remember everything that was happening the instant that I clicked the shutter. Photography has humbled me by recognizing how quickly time passes and how precious it really is. I am but an observer. I am honored and feel tasked to capture as much as I can. I am one of many who ascribe to the notion what photography is in its purest form, cataloging the essence of what it is to be in our universe and beyond. From the microbes in the ground to the planets in the cosmos, we aspire to get snapshots of the grand & marvelous picture that is us as a whole – warts and all."
