Veronica Hoffman

This is how I see the world; come in, look around.

I am Veronica Yvonne Hoffman, an amateur photographer based in brilliant Colorado. I have been playing with cameras and photographs since I was 9 years old, when my parents let me take an old Kodak Instamatic to summer camp. My weapon of choice today is a Canon G12. ;)

I hold a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Lewis & Clark College, though my coursework (like my curiosity) meandered through the departments, pausing anywhere from politics to physics, French to computer science, and – of course – art.

My cameras have travelled with me through parts of my native Midwest, to school in the Shenandoah Valley and Oregon, to Colorado for four years after college, and overseas to Fiji, New Zealand, and Guatemala. I hope to add parts of Europe and South America to the list.

I love close-up and macro images, love to see what colors and textures and patterns pop out when you’ve gotten so close to an object that you can forget what it is. I also love nature, architecture, and abstract photography. Virtually all of my work begins as photography, though some of it doesn’t end that way – like the graphics “Grunge Spokes” and “Fountain in Stark Contrast.”

If you like my work, I would love for you to check out my Facebook page for updates and follow me on Twitter. You can find my personal website and archived writings at peregrinus, my blog at vyh photography, and a more complete set of photography and graphics at my Zazzle gallery.
