Hey! How are ya?
First off, Thanks for checking out my site! I’m a (mostly) self-taught Photographer with a Military background and a penchant for laughter. I’ve found that attention to detail, creativity, and an eye for lighting conditions is a potent combination for capturing those fleetingly beautiful moments that we wish we could hold on to. I can’t stop the sands from flowing in the hourglass of time but, I can help grab a few of the memorable grains!
Photo Philosophy
I believe the closer you get to the emotion of a moment, the better. Anyone can take a picture, slap a black and white filter on it, and make something decent. The difference between a pic and Photograph is intention.
Did you note the position on the sun? How about that shadow? Did you remember the punchline to that joke and more importantly; did you deliver it properly to get that genuine laugh?
How you set up a shot is just as, if not more, important than how you filter it. When I edit a Photo I'm not looking to chop it n' shop it and call it good. I'm remembering the moment—the feeling of the day.
Was it timeless and austere? What about intimate and warm? Was that spring day bright and clean just like life?
A picture may say a thousand words but a Photograph will make you feel ten thousand emotions all at once; or maybe just one really deep one that words can't describe.
That's what I aim to capture and create.
