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.

I Heart Faces- Weekly Challenge ‘Texture’

(Update–My image was given an honorable mention by Amy and Angie at I Heart Faces.)

I’ve been perusing the I Heart Faces site for some time now and finally FINALLY was able to hit the contest on the right days. I usually end up remembering on Wednesday when it’s too late to enter.  The contest this week is ‘Texture’.  You can enter on Monday and Tuesday the week of the challenge.  So, yeah, not breaking from 365 (entry 25 is down below this post), but just wanted to get this one up here.  Here is my submission for the challenge ‘Texture’:
