Night Photography
I don't get many chances to shoot night photography. So when I do, I have fun. It's always about seeing how I can shoot architecture and people in either an abstract or enlightened way' Check out all my night photo's shot over the last six years, all displayed upon my Flickr Gallery. This last one... Continue Reading →
Circular Photographs

Donating Photography for a Worthy Cause
I am donating three framed photographs! These are from the 20 that I exhibited during my SALA 2010 exhibition, to a silent auction at my day job.

Understanding and Appreciating the Effort of Photographers
A Facebook friend and fellow photographer responded to my addeddum with... ..., ask a landscape photographer how much "fun" it is freezing their nuts off setting up for a sunrise shot of a frozen lake, ...
