Traditional Photography

I'm not much of a "traditional photographer," in the strictist sense. I fancy myself as more of an artist, so real life or journalistic photography isn't what you will typically see here. I like to take an image to what I see in my mind. My imagination.

All that means is, yes, I process images and enhance them until I'm happy with what I see. More often than not, the resulting images are a good representation of what you might see, but turned up to 11.

This site is starting off slowly, but rest assured, there's more to come.

Shadows on an Escalator

On every trip, you just gotta shop. While in a major mall in Colorado Springs, we took some time and rode the escalator. At that particular time of day, these were some fun shadows to play with.
