2017 - Hushed Vitality

2017 - Hushed Vitality

I rarely use filters on my photos, but I do like to click through the options and enjoy the differences. I fell in love with this filtered version. The background has a slight green tinge, which lends it an otherworld, serene, almost underwater quality. The flowers burst like fireworks, providing an interesting contrast between the dynamic nature of subject and the calm colors.

The geometric design of this frost on the wrinkles of these berries create an interesting, abstract beauty. Something does not have to be in the fertile young stage of life to be appealing.

Age is its own beauty. The wrinkles on these berries add to their appeal rather than diminish it.

2018 - Dangling Bee Bum

2018 - Dangling Bee Bum

When I edit images, I like to include mysticism and fantasy. There was a leaf hanging down that detracted from the photograph's appeal. Rather than erase it complete, I chose to smear it into a green bokah, like smoke drifting from the petals.

What may seem like a minor storm to some, may feel like drowning to others when they are already adrift.

This photo was taken in my driveway and was the inspiration for my company name. I love the way the rain makes the driveway glisten and the snail ventures forth so boldly across a vast landscape.

2019 - Monkey Friends

My trip to Costa Rica was one of the highlights of my life. To photograph monkeys in the wild was a dream come true. These playful creatures were exploring trees in a national park along the eastern coast.
