My goal with this image was to create a soft, sublime, atmospheric abstract out of something from inside our apartment. I wanted a hint of contour – almost like a foggy landscape with the morning sun peaking over a hill. What is it, you ask? Well, first I’ll say that the image is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise, was shot in the…… Continue reading Sublime Abstract

Tangled and Twisted
Being a daddy, a husband, a photographer, and a freelance 3D/2D animator keeps me quite busy these days. It also keeps my mind racing at 100mph with my thoughts tangled and twisted. I’m not saying having an overactive brain is necessarily a bad thing. I’m just saying it’s the way I feel some days. So my…… Continue reading Tangled and Twisted

I knew I wanted water and possibly clouds (although the clouds weren’t really moving fast enough) in the shot but other than that, I had know idea what I was going to get.…… Continue reading Lincoln Memorial Drive

Up and down and the sidewalk. Who are they? Where are they going? They continue…… Continue reading Footprints
Passageway
“The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.” -Pablo Picasso A study of shape, line, texture, and tone. Shot with my cell phone and processed in Photoshop. Day 35 of…… Continue reading Passageway
