Sitting on top of the prominent street is an elevated lift bridge, one that lines up well with the overall photograph. It rests between buildings on the left and right, as if waiting for someone to cross it. On the right side of the scene, you see two parked cars, indicating a peaceful day and not much activity for our lift bridge. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThis is \u003cem\u003eLIFT.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSTORY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs many of you have come to know, the names of my photographs always have significant meanings. It is my belief that each photo should tell a story, and that it can be, but doesn’t need to be, unique to the photographer. With that being said, all of my prints hold stories from my points of view, but my hope is that they will be as impactful, if not more, for you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis CHRONICLE is called LIFT. There is an obvious buildup in this photography, which I quite love, and I think the story it’s telling is this:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThroughout the entirety of someone's life, there is usually a goal, and these goals are always shifting. For you, your goal might look something like becoming a kinder person, or getting a better GPA in school, or getting a raise, or obtaining more knowledge. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy now, you likely see what I am trying to get at, and while your brain is already working forward with this idea, I would like to introduce something new: what if we tried to lift, instead of trying to be lifted? What if we forgot all about ourselves and our goals and lifted others up, just like this lift bridge?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou might be thinking, but then wouldn’t we be working on elevating our ability to help others? In a sense, yes, but only if your standard way of life was already set up for yourself. If you were perfect at it the moment you were born, then you wouldn’t need to consider any improvement, would you?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe idea behind this photograph is that we have been caught in the busy lives that we live, and we have become automibiles running on autopilot. What we need to do is step down from our position as mini kings and queens of our lives and become the servants. We cannot stop there, though; we need to ensure that others \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ebegin \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etheir lives with such a mindset.

Rather, what I am saying is that a mindset of “give, give, give” will lead you down a rewarding path in life that will benefit you and others.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNow, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewhy \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewould you want to do this at all? I believe that our world is so engulfed with this mindset of “grow, grow, grow”, and it results in the destruction of those who cannot “grow, grow, grow”; at least without a little help. It has become my goal to help those people who cannot grow, whether they don’t have the opportunities or the knowledge of such. And I think that it can be all of our goals. We can all give a smile, which would go a long way in our current affairs, or we can give our time and support.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll in all, I want people to be thinking about that as a possibility while they gaze upon LIFT.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you are a Fine Arts Collector, and you want to be able to give a little bit through your purchase, then please know that a large portion of the income that is brought about by this shop goes towards helping people find joy, even in suffering.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThank you for reading!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMATERIAL\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"474\" data-start=\"130\"\u003eAt Summit Edits, each photograph is brought to life using a carefully curated selection of museum-grade materials, chosen for their ability to elevate every detail, tone, and nuance of the image.
