A Photographer

A while back someone once asked me why I do photography. This caught me a little off guard as I never really thought about why I do it. It's just something that is so much a part of my life that I cannot imagine being without a camera in hand. Even while simply walking down the street I find myself unconsciously examining the quality and direction of light.

Photography allows me to capture something that would not normally be seen. Maybe it's a different perspective or distortion caused by a lens, or a manipulation of natural or artificial light. Photography also captures that one moment that will never be seen again.

All of the people I've met and places I've traveled have changed my life. I look back at my photographs and those moments come back into vivid reality. This site is an attempt to share these experiences with you. So come on in and take a look around. Feel free to drop me an email or post a comment.

More pics from the previous shoot. All of these shots used approximately the same lighting, two Dynalite 4040’s, one on the right rear through a Chimera XS softbox with grid and one on the side left through a Chimera S softbox with grid. The only thing I would change was the power of the pack and my aperture depending on what look I wanted. The black and white photos were processed with Silver Efex Pro and the color photos were processed with Capture NX2.
