My Passion

Photography is my passion, to me its more than a hobby. I enjoy how the world looks thru a viewfinder.

To capture love


To capture nature's best

Ive been taking photos since I was 7. I started using a Fisher-Price 110 camera. Currently I shoot using a Nikon D90, and for my editing software I use Adobe Elements 7. I do not edit all of my photos, I feel that using too much Photoshop takes away from the true beauty. I use Photoshop to tell a different story. As you can see at the photo below. I took this picture in Center City Philadelphia. It stood out more than rest, but because of where it sat. It was in the corner next to City Hall. I decided to change the picture to black and white and use the dark strokes technique to give it a different effect.


I will take a photo of anything that catches my eye, from nature to kids playing. I don't look for anything special, everything tells a story.





Picture of the Day

I took this photo one spring afternoon. I was getting out of my car and saw this one flower hanging through the fence of my neighbor's yard. It looked so far away from the other blooms. So alone yet, like it was trying to get away from the rest. I decided to take a close-up picture of it. To give the flower its effect, i changed the picture to black and white and added a purple hue to the shadows.
