     This week I really enjoyed thinking about how photography crosses paths with many other disciplines.  We live in a visual world where 'seeing is believing' and many times the proof is in the photo. This can be especially visible when dealing with all the sciences. Photography is also used to enhance and illustrate as it does with the discipline I feel my photography most relates to; literature.  My photography is all about storytelling.  Literature does with words what I do with images.  Here are a few of my illustrative images and the literature they cross over with.

     My photography also closely resembles other mediums of art. Including oils, pencils, watercolors, even etchings (see comparison Figure 1 above).
