Jenny Woods. I don't think; I feel.

Photographer / Painter

Year after year, no matter how much everything changes, I always come back to photography. I've never felt anything as amazing as I do when my eyes are wide and my finger is lingering over the shutter. I'm inspired by people, humanity, the quiet moments that pass most of us by. The energy you feel from the subway musician pouring his heart out for strangers. That familiar hunger in the street cat's eyes. Colorful laundry pinned between buildings, kissing the wind; a kind of freeness we all long for. The invigorating sound of a group of kids running by at full force, their laughter echoing; and their presence lingering in the air long after they've disappeared. Making eye contact with people you'll never see again. A quick connection where you feel as if you're the only two people left on earth and somehow that's okay. Photography is a time capsule and I want to bottle life up.
