I search for the most intense beauty and meaning I can find in places, buildings, and the creatures that inhabit them. I find beauty in very strange places sometimes. For example, I like to shoot at night, but also love the nimbleness of shooting without a tripod, the combination of which completely violates all rules of good photography. But results, while unconventional, can be striking. Another forbidden technique is shooting into the sun. While that can produce really bad lens flare and other problems if you're not careful, I've noticed that things really glisten with unusual light when sunlight just kisses off them on its way to the lens. Shadows can be dramatic as well. So have a look through these collections and see what you think. Each shoot has its own story, and its own character.
