Observations

A friend of mine who was recently introduced to my blog asked me: "Do you take pictures of people or just things?" My answer would be Mainly I am drawn towards places and still environments. I like to try and capture the details of the ordinary that we take for granted on an everyday basis. For as animated and ADDHD as I am, I appreciate the stillness and tranquility of an environment when no one else is around. I do like to photograph people in a candid environment, but I don't care for posed photos. No matter how much one tries to act natural in a posed photo it's never quite right. That being said, I do enjoy snapping shots when the the subjects aren't being self-conscious because the lens is staring them down. Below are some photos I did last summer of Brooksie and his kids. they were awesome subjects. Mayhap a bit later I'll pull together some other shots of live subjects for yah.
