So if you have been following me on twitter or my blog you might have noticed I’ve been kind of quite lately, however, that does not mean I have not been busy. I’ve reach a place in my photography where I needed to make a decision. In life we periodically find ourselves at these discerning points. Do I continue doing what I am doing or do I change course….do I continue walking down the alley or go through the door.

I reached  a point where I decided its time for a little something new. Like the doorway in this image, I have no idea where it will lead me. You might have noticed a little switch up in my blog. I am currently putting together a gallery using Photoshelter and will be making my images available for sale as both prints and rights-managed. So far I’ve been working on the basic look and feel in integrating the two sites. I’m currently testing the AdoramaPix print option and will know shortly if things are going to work out.

Also, after 4 years of shooting with a Canon 30d I have invested in the 5d Mark II. I am a firm believer that the camera does not make the photography, however, this is one nice camera and I look forward to the many images it will help me produce. The Open Door is the first one that I’m sharing….I’m already behind, but soon my entire collection will be available.

If you are a follower…thank you! If this is your first time stopping by…thank you! Please check back often as there is more to come!

Well, this might seem like a strange post for Saint Valentines Day, but Valentines Day is about sharing your love with the ones you love. While this image does not represent a loving view of the world it does represent a view of something I love in this world. That is photography!

Too often I feel people get caught up in the classical aesthetics of beauty. I believe even something as desolate and unattractive as a spray painted worn down abandoned store front contains beauty.  As you go through your day today, don’t get caught up in the commercial representation of beauty and love…

Love those for who they are; see beyond the their external facades and into their true hearts.

Another one from my trip to the Richmond Virginia’s pump house.
