Welcome

Welcome to my photoblog. I try to keep it updated daily with a new photo from either my personal or professional life. It is not intended to be taken as my professional portfolio (please visit the main website for that), but instead it is more of an informal and fun way for me to share some of my personality and creativity with you. Many of the photos on my blog are available for purchase as fine art prints, please visit the main website and/or contact me if you are interested. Enjoy!

Photography Blogroll

  
You may notice that I have added a Photography Blogroll on the right hand side of the page today. These are just some of the photography sites I frequently visit in order to learn, or get some inspiration. I recomend these sites if you are interested in learning or even just browsing some great photography! I will also update it regularly with other interesting photography sites I may come across in my searches.

Response to Comment: It was very difficult to hold still while also light painting myself. However, I actually like the blurriness in my fingers because it's like the Orb is radiating light and heat!
Thanks for the comments!

Photo a Day Project

  
I have decided to challenge myself and take at least one photo a day for the next three months. They can be of anything at all, but I'll try to take shots that are somewhat out of my expertise. I am doing this to get myself thinking about different areas of photography that I do not normally venture into. The "Photo a Day" shot will be posted here daily, and I would greatly appreciate comments, suggestions, or tips.

Today's shot is called Drops

Exposure: 1/1600
Focal Length: 51mm
Flash: Not-Fired
