Profile
I am a photographer. I have always been fascinated with taking pictures since I was a child. I remember taking my film to the individual Fotomat booths to process my film. It was agony waiting an entire week for my film to hopefully be developed. I could not wait to see what I had captured.
Photography is an art, a way of life. It is my passion. I love the feeling of capturing the moment of what I see through the lens of my camera. To make last that which happens in nature. I love experimenting with my camera. I enjoy taking my different types of photos. I enjoy adding new photos to my galleries daily. At the moment I am intriqued with taking floral shots. I love flowers, they are neither shy nor tempermental, just extremely ephemeral and that is one of the greatest things that i like to capture and eternalize their beauty.
I capture the true essence of the flower, their very being. The closest one can achieve to feeling the floral deep within. There is this side to a floral that I want the viewer to feel as well. All flowers are beautiful, whether it be a rose or a dandelion. Each has an inner beauty all their own. Each holds a different color, shape, form, fragrance, feel. Each transpires into their own being.
I create something that is entirely my own. a different side that is not often noticed. When I can accomplish this than I can find success in what I do.~
Though Macro Floral Photography is my specialty, I do not set limits for myself. Therefore I ponder in other areas of photography as well. From portraits, to landscape, etc…..
