About me

The kind of photography i like to take is along the lines of street photography. i like to capture images in the urban landscape. What i try to accomplish in my photos is very simple; to take pictures of things that the normal person would see everyday, but try and take them in a sense that if they saw the photo at first sight, they might not recognize it. Taking simple objects such as buildings, bridges, street signs etc. and turning them into much more than what they appear. This is something i enjoy doing because it's a challenge. Anyone can go out and take a photo of a the sears tower, but to take a photo of the sears tower so someone might have to ask " what building is that ?" is something that, to me, is hard to do. Taking photography in urban settings is a lot more than just having the "grunge" style setting. Rather, photo's in urban/city/street settings often tell more of a story. Each photo can tell a different story, or be presented in such a way that one could talk about it for ages. This is especially exemplified at the times of dusk & late afternoon when the shadows begin to form. Shadows often bring out pieces of architecture that one might have never noticed in the daytime. The shapes & patterns project onto the ground, which can make for some very dramatic photos. Every last piece of architecture in a city or town is an opportunity to be a divine piece of photography; it's up to us to make it our own. Beauty is in aperture of its beholder. We are one in a few. We are photographers.
