Cindy Knull bio picture
  • Greetings!

    When I was six years old, my mother gave me a diary.  I remember very distinctly that it was red with a little brass lock.  This began my journey into recording the details of my everyday life.  Writing has always been a love of mine and a necessary part of my self expression.  While in school working towards my English degree,  I had the opportunity to visit the John Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.  To my great pleasure, the feature exhibits consisted of many great Masters of Photography. One of whom was the great Andre Kertesz.  I immediately fell in love with his ability to form the perfect snapshot and felt something inside myself completely identify.  It was upon reading a quote by Mr. Kertesz that I went home and promptly changed my major to Photography.  The words were simply, "I write with light."

    I'm a street shooter at heart, who people hire when they want honest and intelligent images documenting personal events. I dabble in portraiture. I run half marathons. And write, a lot.

    I'm currently working on several personal projects. One of which is my first novel.

Becker Family

111:365

I was invited out to the Becker home this past weekend to shoot family portraits.  I have a lot to say about the Becker family as they are a testament to the spiritual gift of Faith.  I know that when a person struggles through something it is very difficult to see the good in it.  An unfortunate twist in our economy left Joe out of work, couple that with the geographic location of where they live and to say that it’s been a struggle is an understatement.  Trying to sell their home has been challenging but they’ve managed to find enough work to keep them afloat through all the changes.  The Beckers are a family of ten and Kara homeschools all of them.  When I see the the decisions they’ve made to do things THEIR way, I stand back in awe.  Because their decisions are not based out of fear, but by faith.  The faith that although things may be hard and the outcome is uncertain, they believe with their whole hearts that God will come through for them in the end.  I think some people are meant to live lives this way to show the rest of us just how amazing God is.    The home will finally be sold and they will be free to, as they say, move about the country.  You can visit them at http://jokars.com/ They are just getting started!!
