Intro

Who am I? Idealist, dreamer, artist, non-conformist? Who knows. I for one don't. I'm still trying to figure it out.
I see beauty in everything and everyone around me. I strive to rise above society's shallow and hollow perception of beauty and look beyond the superficial to see the good in everything and everyone. I use the medium of photography to come to terms with myself and the world around me. I have a deep fascination with humanity, indeed the human body, and all its beauty.
Life is too short to waste hating the way we look or the imperfect world around us. I believe life is for living, for appreciating the beauty of God's creation and celebrating our humanity in all its imperfection. I am also in awe of the sheer beauty of the world in which we live, everything - flowers, the sun and moon, sunrise, sunset, trees, clouds, you name it.
I try to capture this as best as possible in my pictures. I don't claim to be a good photographer. Far from it. I'm just learning. Right now, I do more of landscapes and river scenes, since I live so close to the river and lakes, but I intend to start taking pictures of people as well, once I can find willing models.
My primary weapon of choice (if I may call it that) is a Kodak Z710 with amazing zoom capabilities. I also have a Nikon D40 and two Sony Ericsson cameraphones - K800i and C902 - two cameras that also happen to be phones.
I welcome comments on my photos (lets face it, some might look pretty crappy compared to yours) but hey, I'm learning. Feel free to comment on them.
