My photo gallery has moved and can now be found on Flickr. The link below will take you to my personal gallery to view all of my photos in one place or you may choose to view specific galleries (located below).
The galleries below represent a sampling of some of the photography that I have done. Oddly enough, I find photographing flowers to be the most relaxing and comforting. Not exactly sure why but maybe it's because they always seem happy... perhaps it’s because they are compliant when posing or maybe... it is simply because they won’t threaten to take legal action.
Feel free to email me or you can follow me on Flickr with any comments, thoughts or other as I would enjoy hearing your feedback.

It all started with a project I was doing where I had to 'sift-through' literally thousands of stock photos to find the most exquisite choices to use. I liked the quality and the vast amount of pixels that I had at my disposal and of course, the results achieved. Of course, with having a stock photography account has its drawbacks like cost, selection and not having 'that unique image' for a brand because it could have been used elsewhere...
After much debate and countless hours of research, I decided to go for a Rebel T3i and the kit lenses with an eagerness to start learning. Once I got past the instant gratification that the 'preset modes' offered, I ventured into the manual-mode to learn more about what was going on within the camera and what kind of control I could have over it. After a grasp of that, I started focusing on lighting, composition and depth of field. It wasn't until the summer of 2014 when I got a 50mm prime (a.k.a. the Nifty-Fifty) that everything started to come together.
In a few short months, photography has really transformed a lot of things for me and opended-up a series of opportunities that I had only seen before from the outside looking in. I've learned to 'get better in camera' and detoxing myself from thinking I needed Photoshop® to work my images. Certainly it still has it's place in my toolbox but there is something satisfying with using the camera to extract and compose exactly what I am looking to achieve.
Something I did not expect with photography was exactly how personal it is. Unlike many of the design projects I've done before, I cannot recall a 'special moment' or memory while doing it when I view the project. Photos the other hand, are not just snapshots of something I saw, but they are also snapshots of my life, where I was and what I was doing. It is definitely an interesting and unique thing that happened... a 'happy accident' as Bob Ross would say.
