Haven’t posted for a while and that’s my fault, but I wanted to share these. Recently upgraded phones to the new iPhone 17 Pro and snapped a few shots while out on my evening walk today.
Some of these are shot in HEIF with only the basic iOS-postprocessing applied and others were shot in Apple and edited lighting in on my Mac.

SJ's 1st birthday is coming up soon, and Mom and Dad are raising him right!
My buddy Scott reached out to me and wanted to put together a Mopar-themed session to celebrate the occasion. It's one thing to be a family of enthusiasts, it's another to support the best brand out there.
Onyx made a guest appearance in this one as well, because you can never have enough Mopar. I had a blast shooting this and appreciate the business guys!

It's been a hot minute since I've posted on this page, but I'm still kicking. I'm currently traveling on a cross-country adventure that is taking me from Mississippi to the west coast, with stops in Nevada, California, and Oregon before heading home. This album will be a repository of shots from that trip.

Photography seems pretty simple right? You just point the camera or your phone at the subject and shoot.
There is more to it than what meets the eye.
Not every picture that is captured is perfect just like how not every person is perfect. Each picture differs from one to another. As a amateur photographer, I find it can be frustrating at times. Looking at your own pictures and comparing them to others can be deceiving. I've learned that being impatient about your skill doesn't help very much.
Having a camera and capturing a specific moment in time, a fraction of a second of a life, and moments that can be remembered later is something I've always found extraordinary, and it's what has drawn me to photography as a hobby. Getting outside and taking pictures of the beauty that we are all surrounded by is important to capture because in today's busy world, most people don't have time to stop, take a breath, and enjoy all the beautiful things on this earth we have.
Since I am an introverted person, photography has helped me have a barrier between me and others and express myself in the perfect creative way. When ever I feel stressed or need to get a little vacation from life, I just go to a random place or the same place and look around and take it all in. Once I've done that, I narrow down my focus to the little things. A leaf, a tree, a specific flower, a person, or a man-made object.
Photography is therapeutic for me and also exercise my creativity in a different way. The whole process from snapping the picture to editing the snapshots of time requires more creativity than what you may think. Finding the ideal balance of brightness, contrast, and filters to bring out the best of the subject takes a lot of time and can be an innovative challenge.
Taking pictures and looking though a lens has had such a huge impact on my life and others'. It's changed my perception and perspective on life and the world around me. My camera is my barrier that no one can cross; it is my way of shutting out the craziness around and focusing on the beautiful things that I normally wouldn't see. It's my passion, my love, and my social shutter. Snapping a fraction of life is truly amazing.
